Following on from the travesty of the boxing result for the Taylor v Catterall fight at the weekend; the Rose and Crown in Chorley have decided to change their name to ‘The Catterall Arms’ to honour their hero and local lad, Jack Catterall.
Many leading boxing pundits and fans of the sport have spoken out, strongly condemning the decision made on Saturday and the whole of Chorley are absolutely devastated for him after all the hard work put in and the sacrifices he has made.
Jack may not have been able to bring home the belts but the Rose and Crown wanted to demonstrate to him and the rest of the community how proud they are of him so The Catterall Arms will be the new name for the whole of March!
David Benton, Manager of The Rose and Crown commented:
“We were all watching intently in the pub on Saturday night and to everyone here, we all believed Jack was the clear winner and we are absolutely gutted for him. While renaming the pub won’t come close to making up for what he has lost; we hope it puts a smile on his face and shows him how we are all so proud of him in his hometown!”
