REVEALED: Canelo alvarez agrees with tyson fury on boxing rule change after taylor vs catterall | Rare Historical Photos

Pound-for-pound number one Canelo Alvarez has agreed with Tyson Fury that boxing rules must be changed after Jack Catterall was seemingly robbed of a win over Josh Taylor.

Taylor won on a split decision in the bout, despite Chorley's Catterall landing more hits in all but one of the rounds in the light-welterweight world title fight - with almost every analyst watching to state that Catterall had won the fight. The judges have been roundly criticised for the scoring, which will be investigated after the British Boxing Board of Control confirmed that they'd be looking into the result.

Fury has backed open scoring - where scores are announced after a certain number of rounds and even stated that he'd do what he could to make sure no British judges were involved in the upcoming fight, which has promoter Frank Warren had initially stated.
