Jamie Moore Jack Cattell can still become the owner of the world title

Published

Jacek Cattell coach, Jamie Moore, has no doubt that his man can still raise the title of world champion, even after his defeat Arnold Barbozy Jnr.

Catterall faced Barboza in a live cooperative in Manchester in England, in terms of the ephemeral WBC welterweight title, losing the decision to divide from splendor. The victory meant that Cattell would become a mandatory claimant to the holder of the Teofimo Lopez Jnr belt – and with the look more and more likely that Lopez will go to 147 pounds, he will be modernized to full title.

This is not the first time Catterall, currently 31 -year -old, missed world distinctions due to a divided decision. He was controversial, unquestioned titles with a power of 140 pounds against the then champion Josh Taylor in 2022. It seemed that Catterall clearly defeated Taylor, but two judges did not agree and lost his divided decision.

Despite these failures, Moore still believes that Catterall will eventually raise the world belt.

“Without a shadow of doubt, 100 percent, I know that Jack can win the title of world champion,” said Moore Bouxingscene. “He just has to have such an opportunity and I think that his destiny is to be a world champion. All these little failures that happened along the way, ultimately, when it comes to this moment, it will make it more sweet when it arrives. But Jack Cattarall and being a world champion, that’s how it should be. It just didn’t happen yet. “

Saturday’s loser with Barboza was painfully close to Catterall and Moore. Catterall won something that seemed to knock down in round 10, but judge Steve Gray said it was a slip. An additional point from the knocking could reduce the narrow loss in favor of Cattella. Moore believes that the decision to govern her slip was incorrect, but accepts that Cattell could achieve much better.

“Yes, listen, just as I thought at night – it was a strict fight,” said Moore. “There was no lot of action. There were really no rounds where you thought there were vast rounds. There was one round in which I still think we should have knocking down. But this is only one of them – and it was a strict fight. Finally, it was really one of those in which you were simply: “There is nothing about it.” Jack can work significantly for any reason. He had a free night. I also didn’t think Barboza was particularly good. And, you know, it was one of those fights that could go both ways and unfortunately we didn’t understand it. “

What went wrong for Cattell? Moore is still not closer to finding an answer.

“To be sincere, I just feel that this is not something that I can put my fingers for a moment,” he said. “I didn’t watch it and maybe when I watch it, maybe I will be able to have a better idea about what we could do better. But generally I don’t like watching fights after a loss, because I feel that I am associated with emotions and I think that some time between this logically and go, right: “right”, ok, let’s be sincere now, the things we did wrong and bad and What could we do better? Nevertheless, I know that Jack could achieve better results, but I can’t blame him for his reaction to this or the way he went with it. “

Cattell did not justify during the interview after the fight. He raised his hands and raised his loss honorably. Cattell is a kind of warrior who is not justified, even when they are there to be made. However, the preparations went “perfectly”, confirmed Moore.

“To be sincere, he entered it and I thought that he seems to be in the best form he had ever been in,” said Moore. “So there are no excuses again. We really can’t put the fingers on what kind he went wrong, and I went with Jack yesterday, and I had a few hours with him, but we didn’t really talk about it because it’s not time. The time in which you are in thinking, you feel stinging and you feel hurt, and emotions are high, it is never a good time to talk about such things. It is always better to let the dust settle, and then I always feel that you analyze it better and you are more sincere with yourself than the emotions in which they play in it. “

The loss in Barboz will probably cost Catterall a great payment against Lopez or other of the great division hitters. Moore was asked if the best margins could cost Cattell Millions of Earnings.

“Such questions, how long is a piece of string?” He answered. “You can go back to this decision four years ago against Josh Taylor and say that it costs him millions – it literally cost him millions. On my post I mentioned that I was very proud of Jacek and the way he was leading. It always runs in such a good way. The way he was able to drag through these various scenarios and situations is literally one of the most resistant people I’ve ever met. I have no doubt that this is only a little failure for him.

“He is still 31 years antique, he is still adolescent and fresh enough,” Moore continued. “He has not gathered many penalties for years. I don’t doubt that he will mind. His ego will be a bit bruised. The moment he has just hit a slightly hit on the road. I have no doubt how to run, the way he makes what he does every day will undoubtedly come back stronger and better than ever. “

Barry McGuigan: Ryan Garcia Faces a Dangerman in Conor Benn at 147 lbs

Barry McGuigan: Ryan Garcia Faces a "Dangerman" in Conor Benn at 147 lbs

Hall of Famer Barry McGuigan has named one half of the main event between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn as the “dangerman” at 147lbs.

The two welterweights will collide at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on September 12, with Garcia making a first defence of his WBC world title.

He claimed the belt by dethroning Mario Barrios with a unanimous decision victory in February, which followed his surprising points loss to Rolando Romero in May 2025.

Interestingly enough, this defeat came shortly after his year-long doping ban, which he served on account of testing positive for ostarine ahead of his majority decision victory over Devin Haney.

The result of their showdown was then ruled a no-contest, with Garcia subsequently moving up to welterweight after failing to keep below the 140lb limit.

It now seems the 27-year-old is competing at a more natural weight while Benn, who tested positive for clomifene in 2022, has not made 147lbs since his second-round finish over Chris van Heerden that same year.

Speaking with talkSPORTIrish boxing icon McGuigan suggested that this – as well as the 29-year-old’s technical flaws – could prove a major factor against Garcia.

“[Benn’s] got that genetic code from his dad, and he’s got that explosiveness and everything else. But he is predictable – you can see when he’s going to throw.

“You ask yourself: is Garcia just a little bit too sharp for him? A little bit too cute. I think Garcia’s finally found the weight he’s most suitable [for]. I think he’s a dangerman at 147[lbs].

“Maybe Conor Benn has left it a little too late to make 147[lbs] again. I think that could be his Achilles’ heel. I make Garcia a slight favourite but would never write off Conor Benn – he’s got that fighting heart.”

Benn comes off a unanimous decision victory over Regis Prograis in April, which followed his two middleweight encounters with Chris Eubank Jr last year.

Devin Haney Updates Fight Strategy After Keyshawn Davis Withdraws from Title Shot

"Devin Haney Updates Fight Strategy After Keyshawn Davis Withdraws from Title Shot"

Devin Haney’s immediate future has been thrown into uncertainty after Keyshawn Davis pulled out of their mandated contest on Friday.

The pair had been ordered to collide for Haney’s WBO world title, with Davis having been named as the sanctioning body’s mandatory challenger at 147lbs.

Multiple reports then suggested that the 27-year-old was offered $3m by Top Rank, his promoter, only for ‘The Businessman’ to reject what would have been a career-high payday.

Subsequently, their bout went to a purse bit hearing, where Top Rank trumped Teofimo Lopez’s Takeover Promotions with a sum of $8,550,000.

This therefore gave Bob Arum’s outfit the promotional rights and, as per the usual 75/25 split in favour of the defending champion, Davis would have been entitled to a share of $2,137,500.

Since Thursday’s auction, though, Davis has excluded himself from the fight and left Haney without an obvious opponent for his first welterweight title defence.

Taking to social mediaWBO president Gustavo Olivieri explained that his organisation must now provide their champion with a solution.

“The WBO hereby confirms receipt of written notice from counsel on behalf of Keyshawn Davis advising that he will NOT accept the 25% purse split adjudicated pursuant to the official WBO purse bid proceedings and, accordingly, will NOT participate in the WBO welterweight mandatory championship contest against Devin Haney.

“In light of the foregoing, the WBO Championship Committee and Ratings Committee will convene to proceed in accordance with the WBO world championship rules and regulations. The applicable ruling will be rendered and published in due course.”

Re: WBO Welterweight Participant Keyshawn Davis

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) hereby confirms receipt of written notice from counsel on behalf of Mr. Keyshawn Davis advising that he will NOT accept the 25% purse split adjudicated pursuant to the official WBO purse bid…

— Gustavo Olivieri, Esq. (@OlivieriLaw) July 31, 2026

At this stage, it remains to be seen whether Haney will be immediately ordered to face a new mandatory challenger or, given the situation, have the opportunity to make a voluntary defence.

Either way, the 27-year-old has not fought since dethroning Brian Norman Jr in November and is surely eager to return to action.
