In an exclusive interview with NileFM, British boxer Jack Catterall shared his thoughts ahead of his upcoming bout during the global boxing spectacle &ldquo;Glory in Giza,&rdquo; set against the historic backdrop of the Giza Pyramids.
Catterall, widely recognised for his controversial 2022 fight with Josh Taylor, is preparing for a crucial matchup that could reshape his path in the sport.
A Step Towards Another Title Opportunity
When asked whether the upcoming fight could move him closer to another world title opportunity, Catterall acknowledged the significance of the moment.
&ldquo;Of course. This fight is for the WBA Regular world title. It&rsquo;s a version of a world title, but a victory on Saturday certainly puts me in the picture for even bigger fights,&rdquo; he told NileFM.
The British fighter sees the bout not only as a championship opportunity, but also as a gateway to the division&rsquo;s biggest stages.
Fighting in Front of the Pyramids
For Catterall, competing in Egypt adds a special dimension to the experience.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m always motivated for fights, especially major events like this one. Fighting here in Egypt by the pyramids is very special to me, and I&rsquo;ve worked hard for this moment,&rdquo; he said.
The event forms part of the international fight week for &ldquo;Glory in Giza,&rdquo; organised by Matchroom Boxing and The Ring Magazine as part of Riyadh Season.
Ready for Any Challenge
Discussing his expectations for the fight, Catterall emphasised preparation and adaptability.
&ldquo;As a fighter, you have to be prepared for every situation. I train hard in the gym, and I expect to go out there and win on Saturday. No matter what&rsquo;s thrown my way, I&rsquo;ll be ready.&rdquo;
Glory in Giza: Boxing Meets History
Egypt&rsquo;s iconic Giza Plateau hosted the launch of the fight week festivities on Tuesday, 19 May 2026, with the &ldquo;Face Off&rdquo; event, where fighters gathered near the legendary Great Sphinx of Giza.
The historic setting will host an exceptional night of boxing featuring world-class fighters from across the globe.
