Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayJack Catterall is continuing his pursuit of Rolando Romero after capturing the WBA regular welterweight title last weekend.
Catterall outpointed Shakhram Giyasov in Egypt to claim the belt and immediately strengthen his position in the WBA rankings. Days later, he returned to social media to publicly challenge Romero, who was recently elevated to WBA Super world champion.
I’ll fight him in his garden he’s pretending he’s not reading all this so I have to make sure I tag him @SignUp4KOs let’s run it https://t.co/n5hjS9Cow5

The challenge is the latest public attempt by Catterall to secure a fight with Romero. Since becoming the WBA welterweight champion in May 2025, Romero has been linked to bigger-name opponents, including Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Conor Benn, and Manny Pacquiao.
Catterall’s latest post arrives as the WBA title picture begins to tighten. Rolly previously bypassed a fight with former mandatory Giyasov before the Uzbek contender went on to challenge for the vacant regular title. Catterall now holds that belt, placing him directly beneath Romero in the WBA hierarchy.
While a fight with Catterall may not carry the commercial appeal of some of the names connected to Rolly, it offers significant title implications. Romero’s championship reign now comes with an obligation that could eventually bring the two fighters together.
Romero has shown little public interest in the matchup. Catterall, however, appears determined to keep his name in front of the champion until he gets an answer.
