Caterall took to social media to share his displeasure at the way undisputed super-lightweight world champion Taylor won in Glasgow on Saturday.

You know what hurts the most, it wasn’t for me, I did all of this for my family, my team, my town and country,” the Chorley boxer wrote.

“My baby girl misses, our future. Today I should have been waking up with all of the belts. 15 months out the ring, they all wrote me off, he wrote on Instagram

“F***** me in every way possible for over two years, finally got the fight. Sacrificed everything to fight one of the top p4p ranked fighters, and gave him a lesson. For what? Boxing shame on you."

Cattarall made his thoughts towards the judges clear and summed up his feelings by saying: "Dreams stolen."

'British Boxing Board of Control general secretary Robert Smith has said they will be looking into the points scoring and will let both fighters know accordingly'.

Eddie Hearn had sympathy for the Chorley boxer and said

"They robbed him. You can say, 'He'll get another chance,' but he'll never get another chance like that."

"Never get a chance to become undisputed again, a chance to earn the kind of money if the right decision would've been made."

Irish bookmaker Paddy Power also announced that they would be refunding bets on Jack Catterall to win and have described the split decision for Josh Taylor as an "absolute robbery".
