Shock Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall scoring referred to police by House of Commons Speaker

The controversial scoring of Josh Taylor’s win against Jack Catterall has been referred to the police by the Speaker of the House of Commons.

Taylor won a split decision in his Scotland homecoming, despite being knocked down, cut and out-boxed for long periods by Catterall.

Many believed Catterall deserved the victory but the judges decided otherwise, handing defending champion Taylor a shock split decision win in his undisputed super-lightweight title defence.

“I have to question why the judges got it so wrong?
