The first fight ended in a disputed split decision win for Taylor at the OVO Hydro arena in Glasgow.

No love has been lost between the two as tempers flared during their first face-off ahead of their rematch, at a press conference in Edinburgh.

There were plenty of strong words shared between the fighters, but Taylor was able to show his cheeky side with one gimmick.

The Scot, 33, was seen leaning over to give Catterall the crayons, which sparked a confrontation between the two.

Throughout the presser, he continued to bring up that he had given Catterall crayons during their encounter.

He could be heard telling his rival to "go back to your crayons" as he pointed them out.

After the press conference ended, Taylor shared a picture of the crayons in front of Catterall's nameplate on social media.

He wrote: "Jack Catterall you left your present. So ungrateful."

Many of Taylor's fans loved the joke as they responded to the post.

One fan wrote: "This had me in bits!"

A second commented: "Top bantz."

A third posted: "Well funny that."

A fourth said: "Great banter."

Another added: "Hahaha, that is quite funny, to be fair."

The controversy over the first fight and bitterness shared between the two made an immediate rematch a no-brainer.

But competing promotions and networks stood in the way of the grudge match.

However, now, after two years, a deal has finally been agreed upon for the arch-rivals to settle the score on April 27.
