Hearn Says He’d Love To See “The Most Underrated Fighter In The World” Jack Catterall “Give Teofimo Lopez An A**e Kicking!”

Whether or not you want Eddie Hearn or not, it has been identified, right here on this web site and in quite a few different locations, that the Matchroom boss all the time has his fighter’s again – that’s a win, lose, or draw. Sam Jones is Jack Catterall’s supervisor, however Hearn has a vested curiosity within the Chorley southpaw’s future.

And Hearn, in talking with the media after Catterall’s massive win over former two-time champ Regis Prograis (who Hearn additionally promoted, after all), says he would now like to see Catterall battle Teofimo Lopez “and provides him a**e kicking.”

Hearn, who mentioned that he feels Catterall is “most likely essentially the most underrated fighter on this planet,” is aware of the 31-year-old has choices—together with a battle with the winner of the upcoming Liam Paro vs. Richardson Hitchins battle. However Eddie needs the Teo battle, as does Catterall himself.

“This man might be essentially the most underrated fighter on this planet,” Hearn mentioned of Catterall. “In 11 months, he’s beat Jorge Linares, Josh Taylor, and now Regis Prograis. All in 11 months. This man wants a world title shot subsequent. We have now Liam Paro combating Richardson Hitchins on December 7 in Puerto Rico. The winner of that battle – we wish to put that straight ahead to them to battle Jack Catterall subsequent. For me, with this WBO belt, he needs to be primary within the WBO. I might like to carry Teofimo Lopez to Manchester as effectively and provides him a**e kicking.”

Make no mistake, if there can be any a**e kicking going down, it might be one of many two fighters within the ring administering it, not the promoter of the battle. And simply who would win if Catterall, 29-1(13) and Lopez, 21-1(13) did battle? It’s a doubtlessly nice battle, that’s for positive.

As a battle fan, who would you most prefer to see Catterall battle subsequent? And Hearn is bang-on proper when he says Catterall is vastly underrated (and presumably underappreciated) and that he deserves a second world title shot. Both the Paro-Hitchins winner or Lopez……..in case you might choose, who would you choose for Jack?

Catterall was unfortunate to not have walked away with all 4 140-pound belts again when he was deemed the factors loser in his first battle with Josh Taylor. However now, it appears nothing will cease Catterall from reaching his dream of changing into a world champion. However he should get his second shot quickly, as in his subsequent battle.
