Catterall and Ennis Form New Alliance For Welterweight Ascent

Jack Catterall Will Be Teaming Up Wth Coach Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis To Begin Training in Philadelphia Now. It’s An Odd Pairing, As Bozy, The Father of Former Unified Wellterweight Champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Is Known for Being Of A Coach Who Teaches Offense.

The ‘British Shakur’ Problem

That Style of Fighting May Not Work With Catterall, Who Call ‘The British Shakur.’ Bozy Isn’t A Miracle Worker, Someone Who Can Magically Transform Jack Into A Copy of His Son, ‘Boots’ ennis. Trying to Change Catterall May Break Him As A Fighter Because The Stevedson Style Is Go Engrained in Him.

With Catteralall’s Lack Power and His Shakur-Esse Fighting Style, Training With Bozy May Not Yield The Results to Become to Become a Viable Welterweight Contender. He Better Be Better Working With Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre, So He Could Side-By-Side With Terence Crawford to Mimic His Style.

Boxingscene Broke The News on Catterall Joining Up With Bozzay Ennis in Philadelphia. Will be interested to see if this team-up works for work.

Is this a Last-ditch Effort?

Some View It A Last-Ditch Effort by Catterall (31-2, 13 Kos) To Rebuild His Career Following His Recent 12-Round Split Defeat Against Arnold Barboza Jr. On February 15th. Jack Did Not Look In That Fight, As He Was Out-Punched And Outboxed by Barboza Jr.

In Catterall’s Last Fight, Wellterweight and Defeated Harlem Eubank On Unanimous Technical Decision on July 5, 2025. The Contest Ended Fighters Suffered Cuts in the Seventh Heads of Heads. At The Time of The Stoppage, Catterall was ahead 69-66, 69-66, and 69-65.

Catterall’s Wins over former Champions: Regis Prograys, Josh Taylor, and Jorge Linares. He hasn’t been’t beat Anyone Who Was Still in Their Prime, and His Recent Performances Against Barboza Jr. And Eubank Suggest That He May Never.

A Wide-Open Welterweight Field

What Catterall has to go to Him is The Welterweight Division Is Lacking Now That That Jaron Ennis Has Moved Up to 154. That was the Last Remaining Phenom. Now That He’s Gone. It’s Left Mostly B-Level Fighters To Go For The Top Spots.

Potential Million-Dollar Paydays

Even IF Catterall Never WINS A WORLDEIGHT WELTERWEIGHT, HE CAN STILLIONS IF He can Get a Chance to Fight Some These Fighters:

• Devin Haney
• Ryan Garcia
• Conor Ben
• Teofimo Lopez

The Problem Is, None of Those Fighters Would Be Interested in Fighting Catterall Because He Tends Hit, Hold, And Move. It’s The Exact Copy Of The Style That Shakur Stevenson Uses, But With A Lot Holding.
