The first fight ended in a controversial split-decision victory for Taylor at the OVO Hydro arena in Glasgow.

There was no love lost between the two as tempers flared during their first confrontation at a press conference in Edinburgh.

There were many strong words shared between the fighters, but Taylor was able to show his brutal side with one gimmick.

The Scot, 33, was seen leaning over to give Catterall the crayons, leading to a confrontation between the two.

Throughout the press he kept bringing up the fact that he had given Catterall crayons during their meeting.

He was heard telling his rival, “Go back to your crayons,” as he directed them.

After the press conference ended, Taylor shared a photo of the crayons for Catterall's nameplate on social media.

He wrote: “Jack Catterall, you left your gift behind. So ungrateful.”

Many of Taylor's fans loved the joke when they commented on the post.

One fan wrote: “This had me in pieces!”

A second commented: “Top bantz.”

A third posted: “Well funny that.”

A fourth said: “Great banter.”

Another said: “Hahaha, that's quite funny, to be honest.”

The controversy surrounding the first fight and the shared bitterness between the two made an immediate rematch a no-brainer.

But competing promotions and networks got in the way of the grudge match.

Now, after two years, a deal has finally been agreed that will see the arch-rivals settle the score on April 27.
