The ordered bout would give Catterall his first opportunity to challenge for the WBA\u2019s primary welterweight championship at 147 pounds as a professional.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/boxingnews24.substack.com\/subscribe\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to subscribe to our FREE newsletter<\/a>Related Boxing News:<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tCategories <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/boxer\/boxing\/\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Latest<\/a> \t\t<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Boxing News 24<\/a> \u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/boxer\/boxing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a> \u00bb Jack Catterall Reacts To Reports Of Rolly Romero\u2019s Summer Return<\/p>\n<p>Last Updated on 2026\/06\/08 at 5:22 PM \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Catterall has reacted to reports that WBA welterweight champion Rolly Romero is expected to make a summer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":628424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-628423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=628423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/628424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=628423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=628423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=628423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
