Jack Catterall Facts to Know
Catterall is a slick southpaw boxer fighting out of the United Kingdom. He is ranked in the top 10 in the world in his division for a reason. What he lacks in power, he makes up for in movement and fight IQ.
The 26-1 boxer has 13 KOs in his career and is coming off of a very debatable decision loss for the undisputed titles at super lightweight. It will be important for him to bounce back from that heartbreak and get back to what he was doing for the last few years in this division.
Darragh Foley Facts to Know
Foley is also a slick southpaw fighter from a similar part of the world as Catterall. He is tough and durable and can make opponents pay when they make mistakes. Darragh Foley was born in the UK and fights out of Australia with a great group of training partners from down under.
He has a 22-4-1 record with 10 KOs under his belt and hasn’t been finished yet in his career. Foley has been starting very fast in his recent bouts, but it will be tough for him to do that against a fighter of this caliber like Catterall. Foley will enjoy a reach and height advantage in this one as well.

Jack Catterall vs. Darragh Foley Betting Prediction
After breaking down the Catterall vs Foley betting analysis and betting preview, we know that Catterall is the major betting favorite. Even though these two have literally identical experiences in professional boxing, Catterall gets the edge in every area.
- The prediction for this bout is that Catterall wins via unanimous decision.
He will be too fast and too slick for the older and less athletic Foley. Foley will try to keep Catterall at range with his jab, but it will be tough to keep him from getting inside for ten rounds.
Keep an eye out on your sportsbook for prop bet lines being released as fight week progresses. The moneyline is too ridiculous to lay any money on, so a prop bet is the only chance you have to make some money.
Catterall winning by decision should still be a decent-sized betting favorite, but it can get you a better return on your bet.
