Speaking to Sky Sports activities, Arum says he was in particular person for that combat and he’s satisfied the scores have been too large in Catterall’s favor.

I used to be sitting subsequent to Eddie Hearn, whose fighter was Catterall, and he was scoring the combat and we had it a really, very shut combat.”
