“I messaged Catterall and I messaged his team, his manager [Sam Jones],” Barboza Jnr told BoxingScene. “I was like, ‘Hey, let’s do a rematch for November.’ They just didn’t want to. His manager’s like, ‘Oh, well, your styles don’t gel.’ And I said, ‘Bro, I’ll stay in the middle of the ring if Catterall stays in the middle of the ring.’ The problem is he’s got to talk to Catterall, but he’s always on his back foot. So if he’s willing to do it, bro, I’ll stay right in the middle of the ring, I’ve done it before. They just didn’t want to fight, bro. So that’s all right. We’ll wait, we’ll move on and go to January.”
