Josh Taylor wants to reconsider his career at Welterweight tonight in a major fight against Ekow Essuman in the main meeting in the SSE Arena in Glasgow, Scotland. Taylor (19-2, 13 CO’s) comes into the fight with tremendous pressure to two straight defeats at 140. He looked awful in losses to Jack Catterall and Theofimo Lopez.
Tonight’s main card is shown Live on dazn At 14:00 ET / 11:00 am The approximate time for ring walk is 17:00 et / 14:00 pt.
Taylor vs. Essuman Fight
‘The Tartan Tornado’ Taylor wants to show fans that he was not rinsed at 34. His goal of moving to Welterweight is to become a world champion of two divisions and be involved in major battles in the division. He must look good against Essuman (21-1, 8 COs) tonight to show the boxing world that he is not completed as a fighter. Taylor is #11 WBC and #11 WBO on Welterweight.

With the advanced age of Taylor, he has no choice but to immediately adopt and fight the most dangerous contenders immediately if he wants to get a world title. He cannot afford to stick to his one -time schedule, and he will age as he continues to fight welter weights like Essuman.
For Essuman, 36, this is a great opportunity to insert himself into the welterweight landscape to get a big fight before his career ends. It can open the door for fighting against other contenders if he can beat Taylor. I don’t get a title shot of a win over Taylor, but he can get fights against contenders such as Karen Chukhadzhian or Lewis Crocker.
Taylor’s way forward
“It’s a dangerous battle. Ekow is not the most dangerous man in the world, but he can fight, and he is really fit, tough and traced, ‘commentator Carl Frampton said Dazn boxTalk about what Josh Taylor oppose tonight, and I fight Essuman.
“If Uu Tone had baptized at Welterweight for the first time, you could probably excuse Josh for fighting easier.”
