Catterall, of nearby Chorley, England, made the most significant decision of his career when he left his long-term trainer, the Manchester-based Jamie Moore, to work under the highly regarded Ennis. He was rewarded for doing so with November’s victory over Ekow Essuman, and therefore May’s date with Uzbekistan’s Giyasov, and regardless of the outcome of his next fight will consider working with Ennis again, as he expected to do when he was previously on course to fight Jose Carlos Ramirez.
