Scottish Boxer Josh Taylor Fights Ekow Essuman Live: Details, Start Time, Supporting Bouts, and Commentary for Taylor's Return bout
Josh Taylor, a Scotsman who has been out of the ring for a year following his loss to Jack Catterall, returns for another bout this weekend. The event will take place at the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow and will be live on talkSPORT.
Taylor had a highly anticipated rematch with Catterall in May 2024, two time-periods after their initial encounter, which ended controversially in Taylor's favor. However, there was no debate over the outcome in their second meeting, as Taylor claimed the win via unanimous decision.
Now, after taking some time away from the sport to refocus, he is back in action. This time, he will be supported by a home crowd and face a tough competitor in Ekow Essuman, who has just one defeat on his professional record.
The undercard features the latest fight of Moses Itauma, a 20-year-old boxer who is making his way up the heavyweight rankings. Other fights on the undercard, subject to change, involve Nathaniel Collins, Aloys Junior, Luke McCormack, Alex Arthur Jr., and Robbie Chapman.
Taylor's next opponent Mike Balogun has not been confirmed yet. In the past, Taylor expressed his passion for the sport and his goal to become a two-weight world champion, stating that he is not fighting for the money but for love and pride in the sport.
You can tune in to talkSPORT's live coverage of the night starting at 8 PM UK time, with the main event ringwalks scheduled for 10 PM. The main card is set to start at 7 PM.
The fight between Taylor and Essuman is a 12-round welterweight contest and will determine Taylor's record if he wins or maintains it if he loses. We will update Taylor's record after the outcome of this fight is known.
