Even though this fight is only scheduled for three rounds, Kattar believes that should the fight make it into the later rounds, it will play into his advantage. Zalal hasn’t needed the judges’ scorecards since his fight against Da’Mon Blackshear in 2020. Either way, Kattar is looking to get back in the win column and defend his spot in the featherweight rankings. And he believes Zalal is the perfect test that will make for a great fight.
“For me, it’s just a checkpoint to myself to get a W, get my hand raised, make that walk again, and good things come from that,” Kattar said. “Youssef is a tough test, and it usually brings out the best in me when you fight top-caliber guys. I expect nothing but a solid performance come Saturday night against Youssef.”
The Massachusetts native hopes for a busy 2025 and one filled with plenty of wins, and that starts Saturday night against a hungry Zalal.
