Josh Taylor will defend his undisputed light-welterweight crowns when he takes on British rival Jack Catterall in February.
Taylor put on a brilliant display in Las Vegas last May to beat Jose Ramirez and add the WBC and WBO light-welterweight titles to his collection.
The ‘Tartan Tornado’ is 18-0 with 13 knockouts to his name and will put his all his gold on the line in Glasgow.
The bout was originally scheduled for December but Taylor was forced to rearrange it due to a knee injury.
But he will now face ‘El Gato’ in a historic fight with this being the first time an undisputed champion of the modern era has defended his titles in Scotland.
Catterall, who is 26-0, will provide stern competition on what will no doubt be a memorable night of boxing.
