Arum: «Never Let an American Fighter Come Here»

During an interview after the bout between Jack Catterall and Josh Taylor, held on the night of May 26 in Leeds, UK, the most furious person about the judges' decision was Taylor's promoter Bob Arum. He grabbed the microphone and delivered a scathing critique of British judging:

«These judges' scorecards are a disgrace, an absolute disgrace. I truly feel sorry for Josh; I thought he won the fight. These judges' scorecards are laughable.

Never. Never allow an American fighter to come here when the British Board is handling the fight. These scores are just ridiculous,» Arum stated.

As a result of the bout, Jack Catterall defeated Josh Taylor in the rematch with scores of 117-111 twice and 116-113.
