IBF, WBO junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor is very motivated to set the record straight in a potential rematch with Jack Catterall.

Back in February, Taylor won a controversial twelve round split decision over Catterall.

During the fight, Taylor was dropped for the first time in his career and struggled with Catterall's tricky boxing style.

When they met in the ring, Taylor was the undisputed champion at 140-pounds. 

Since that bout, Taylor has walked away from the WBA, WBC titles - as the respective sanctioning bodies ordered him to make mandatory defenses.

Taylor indicates that he dropped both titles in order to achieve his main goal - to make a rematch with Catterall, who since February has been very vocal to secure a second fight.

"I've had more attention after that fight than I have from my biggest fight in my career when I became undisputed world champion, first person to do it from the UK ever, and it got kind of ignored," Taylor said to Sky Sports. "Maybe if I'd have been someone else from somewhere else on a bigger platform it would have been completely different. My achievements have gone under the radar quite a lot.

"I was a shadow of myself in that last fight, you could see it evidently from the documentary [Portrait of a Fighter] the problems I had in the camp and stuff. "A shadow of myself, a shadow of my former self in the ring. A huge part of it was motivation, a huge part of it was the weight cut as well due to my lack of motivation. You can see I just wasn't myself, my career-worst performance.

"I'm looking forward to getting back in the ring and returning to my former talents, my former displays and former self of being spiteful and going in for the kill."
