London, England – Jack Catterall brutally re-announced himself as a world-title threat with a dominant 11th-round stoppage of Ekow Essuman at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, putting himself in prime position for a shot at welterweight gold.
The victory, coming in the co-main event of Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn live on DAZN PPV, was Catterall’s first inside the distance in more than six years and elevated him to the WBO’s No. 1 spot at 147 pounds.
New camp, new weight, old ruthlessness
After a frustrating technical-decision win over Harlem Eubank in the summer, Catterall chose to relocate to the United States, linking up with respected trainer Derek “Bozy” Ennis in Philadelphia.
