Instantly, fans took to social media to vent their outrage at the scoring. They called it "one of boxing’s worst decisions ever"
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury demanded that no British judges score his fight against Dillian Whyte next year.
This shocking result prompted the British Boxing Board of Control (BBC) to investigate and ask the judges at the ring to explain their cards.
Robert Smith, chief of BBBofC, has stated that the decision can't be reversed.
This is despite Catterall admitting that he believed Catterall had won, but only by an insignificant margin.
Catterall was furious by his comments and said talkSPORT that he heard Robert Smith's words.

"Robert Smith said the fight was close. There's no other promoter, journalist or broadcaster who could have had it even remotely close.
"It just sickens my heart for him to claim that the fight was close.
"I don’t know what fight he was viewing, but we all witnessed the reaction ringside, from Sky to the commentators, and from the promoters. It's sickening."
He said, "You heard Robert Smith say that the decision wasn't going to change."
"That was something that I worked for 18 years for - for my family, my legacy.
It was life-changing to see what could have happened if it wasn't for the PPV fights. All of it has been taken from me now.
"I am now down the pecking list, back at square one, where it was two/three year ago. I don't know what the future holds."
Catterall said, "I believe there's a lot incompetence in boxing as well as how it's regulated." There is also corruption, I believe.
"I don't know where it's coming form right now. We have a lawyer on our side and we hope to get justice.
"It's not going to bring back Saturday night but something has to be done. Someone needs to discover where corruption is coming from, and how we can eradicate it from the sport.
"Boxing is run and controlled by dinosaurs. Nothing has changed in the past 50/100 years.
"We've all seen it before in fights that we've all observed and concluded, 'The wrong person got the decision.
"They said, "Oh, we'll conduct an investigation." This has never happened before and it cannot continue."
