Josh Taylor: “He’s talking knockout, he’s going to come out aggressively and try and be more engaging, which is great.
“I’ve seen a lot of gaps in his offence game. He leaves a lot of gaps and a lot of holes for him to walk onto a nice sweet shot and it will be a Goodnight Vienna.
“The last fight was a stinker from both of us. Jack was doing a lot of holding and spoiling, slowing the pace down. I was very poor as well.
“I believe the two of us can be a lot better and it will be a better fight for the fans. It’s going to be a barnstormer.”
Jack Catterall: “It’s a fight that’s been talked about way before the first fight and then two years in the aftermath, so our names have been linked.
“I thought I beat him and I thought I did it comfortably.
“In a roundabout way, it’s good for boxing and it’s good for us, the rivalry that we’ve created, but to win convincingly, draw a line under it and move on with my career, that’ll be good.”
Joe McNally (Taylor’s trainer): “I truly believe hand on heart, the best Josh Taylor turns up, the best Jack Catterall, Josh wins. But we cannot settle for anything other than vintage Josh Taylor.
“He’ll perform and maybe could stop Jack between eight and nine. I think it could be up there with winning his undisputed championship. I know that’s what it means to him.”
Jamie Moore (Catterall’s trainer): “Nobody at this level should be overlooking someone like Josh Taylor and going, ‘I hope he’s not as good as he was’.
“It’s insane especially because he’s coming off a loss to someone like Teofimo Lopez – an absolutely phenomenal fighter.
“Everyone’s getting carried away hoping that Josh’s past his best, or people at least who want Jack to win. They’re hoping that he’s got a lot of injuries, but I’ve got to take it on, coach Jack and get him ready for the best Josh Taylor.
“I’m still confident that Jack can beat him because I believe in his ability over Josh Taylor’s.”
