Josh Taylor returns to the ring from a long annual release to the need to win with Ekow Essuman on Saturday, May 24, at SSE Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland. The unquestionable master of lightweight welterweight Taylor (19-2, 13 KO) will debut at 147 against #4 WBO, #14 WBA Essuman (21-1, 8 KO). The event will be shown live in Dazn this Saturday.
Return of Taylor or a breakthrough
This is a fight that Taylor should win if he has something because Essuman 36 is not a crop cream.
Tartan Tornado Taylor lost the last two fights, and fans doubt that something was left at the age of 34. He did not look like the same warrior who once had been since the war with Jose Ramirez in 2021. This competition pulled a lot from Taylor, leaving him a shell of his ex -self in the last three fights. Josh’s record in these fights is 1-2, but it should be 0-3. His only win was a controversial 12-round decision divided by Jacek Cattell in the first fight in 2022.
Taylor enters the WBC #11 ranking, No. 11 WBO in a welterweight, but that means nothing. Last year, he appeared terribly in a rematch with Cattell in May, losing a 12-round unanimous decision in Leeds, England. Earlier, Taylor was humiliated by Teofimo Lopez, losing his WBO 140-Funt WBO belt with a 12-round unanimous decision. Teo made Josh look bad in this fight.
If Taylor wins ahead of Essuman, he will be able to fight more in welterweight against Conor Benn, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Jaron “Boots” Ennis. It is doubtful that he got one of these fights. This will require Taylor to defeat someone with a decent one, such as Karen Chukhadzhian, Eimantas Stanionis, Shakhram Giyasov or Rohan Polanco, had a shot in these fighters. However, defeating these guys can act the other way around Taylor, scaring them away. Alalshikh may need to be needed to pay attention to him, that the fighters would reluctantly fight him.
“He has not fought for a year. This is a fight for me in which Josh Taylor can show against a very powerful, natural welterweight, which he probably paired,” said Gareth A. Davies Boxing TalkSport About the fight Josh Taylor vs. Ekow Essuman on Saturday in Glasgow.
Essuman is the perfect style for Josh to show his elderly form because he is someone who will be there to be hit. Taylor will not have to look or chase him behind the ring, as he did against Cattteral and Teofimo.
Substantial fighting is still possible?
“This is an opportunity to show how much he is left, and how much desire is. The Semi -Ired Library Division is now a murderer’s government, and there are several golden goose up to a few substantial fights. Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia are noteworthy. Gareth are noteworthy. Gareth are noteworthy. Gareth.
Benn and Ryan are out of Taylor’s orbit. These fighters focus on larger fights. Taylor has to start from below and work until 147. He can’t be afraid of risky pretenders, because this is the only way that he can make warriors like Haney, Ryan and Benn fight him.
“It’s Southpaw. I’m going to choose him on points because I think he is very clever. He will get involved when Ekow Boxes and Box, when Ekow fights. I just think Josh Taylor has to pull out all stops,” said Gareth. “I think Josh is good enough to show that he can do it in welterweight and have several great fights before he hangs the gloves. If he didn’t get it, I think it’s the last of him.”
The version of Josh Taylor, which existed in 2017-2019, would piss Essuman and make him look bad. He hasn’t shone lately. Of course, one of the reasons why Taylor is fighting with skillful fighters, Catterall and Teofimo. An boost in these guys would be hard for everyone.
“Jaron Ennis is now in the first place in the division. Brian Norman is a champion. Devin Haney is in the division. Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney. The division is burning. So if Josh Taylor wins on Saturday evening and looks rejuvenated.
Again, Taylor will not get any of these substantial names to fight him after defeating 36-year-old Essuman. He must do much better to land this kind of fight. Whether Taylor can overcome fighters that he needs major fights is doubtful.
Bill Haney issued his list of 10-battle hits for his son, Devin Haney to fight, and fans consider her too ambitious. Most of the fighters on the list would be too good for Haney from shocks (32-0, 15 KO) in its current form, especially Jaron Ennis, Gervonta Davis and Teofimo Lopez.
Bill perceives Teofimo as Golden standard Because who wants Devin to fight next, but he is completely out of reach. The fight between Lopez and IBF and the WBA Jaron “Boots” HEADISA champion is in summer. Teo does not change his fighting plans for a lot of money with shoes to face Haney in what would probably be a modest task.
Haney’s fears
Fans believe that these warriors will destroy Devin and ended what Ryan Garcia started last year. Bill seems to be trying to lure his great name for his fighting son, Haney, to fight after his fatal performance against Jose Ramirez on May 2.
Promoter Oscar de la Hoya gave Haney bad news on Wednesday, telling the media, “No, this is not a direction in which we want to go. Zero at all.” De La Hoya Bogst Bill Marzenie Devina will get a lucrative rematch with Ryan, whom he waited a year ago for a fight after the Up-to-date York sports commission suspended him for supporting a filthy one a year ago.
Bill will have to revise his list and a more realistic view on who he can potentially get Haney to fight. The extensive majority of fighters he chose for his list of 10-borsters would not be interested in fighting Haney. They are either busy or they would not like to fight him because there is no mountain.
Bill must hope that Turks Alalshikh comes to Devin’s rescue and offers one of these fighters a lot of money to fight Dev. I don’t know if it will do it after Haney’s first performance against Ramirez on the Times Square card in Up-to-date York on May 2.
If you are Turki, you would like to go in a different direction, not exploit Devin, because he fights too similar to Shakur Stevenson. Turki is already fighting his card on July 12 in Up-to-date York. There is no need for another Shakur warrior to have a lifeless performance.
Turki needs fighters who play, create positive fans’ reactions and make them want to buy future events at PPV. When it comes to saving boxing, Turki must avoid turning lifeless fighters on his cards and focus more on those that cause emotions. Haney, Shakur and Richardson Hitchins do not have fun.
The most valuable promotions finalized the boxing card of all women on July 11, at the head of the fight with the trilogy between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in Madison Square Garden.
Savannah Marshall IBF Super Middle Wageight will set off with the title WBO Shadasia Green in the 10-round title of Unification on the main Taylor-Serrano 3 card, while the only woman who defeated Katie Taylor in Pro Ranks, Chantelle Cameron will defend her WBC Super Lightweight title Against Jessica Camara in the tenth Frellits.

Thanks to this final add-ons, Taylor-Serrano 3 will cover five out of the 10 best ESPN women’s fighters, and each fight on the main card is united or unquestioned championship fight. A breakthrough event will be broadcast live in Netflix.
“The card contains an unprecedented level of global talent, including three out of four and five of the top ten,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian through the ESPN statement. “It’s like having a canelo [Alvarez]Gervonta [Davis]IN [Terence] Crawford, [Naoya] Inoue i [Oleksandr Usyk] On the same card – well, we have it for women and it will be amazing. With five struggles for the title of World Champion – three united and two unquestioned – on Friday, July 11 will not only be a decisive night for MVP as a leader in women’s boxing, but a key moment for sport as a whole. “
After a speedy detours, Marshall (13-1, 10 KO) will return to action for the first time in two years. The former undisputed medium weight master will be aimed at regaining the WBO title against Green (14-1, 11 KO). Two Power Punchers won 21 out of 29 fights by knockout.
“The defense of my IBF and Ring Magazine belt in the union of the fight against Shadas Green on the All-Women card, such as the great way to start my fresh journey with MVP,” said Savannah Marshall.
“I am very excited about the fight with Savannah Marshall, who achieved a lot in this sport. We are two seriously striking world champions who will put everything on the line,” said Shadasia Green, who acquired the empty WBO title, defeating Melinda Watpool in November.
Cameron (20-1, 8 KO) is a former undisputed welterweight champion who reversed Katie Taylor’s challenge in May 2023. The winner of the camera (14-4-1, 3 KO) 11 July 11, Cameron may be in a queue for the winner of Taylor-Serrano.
“Boxing in Madison Square Garden in Novel York is a dream come true for me, and the fact that I am dealing with a good opponent brings out the best,” said Cameron.
Ali (9-2, 2 KO) returned to the action after abandoning the decision for Yamileth Mercado in June last year. Somali-British Boxer is also a fashionable model, philanthropist and activist. In 2023, Ali was chosen as one of the 12 Time Women of the Year magazine. Ali signed a contract with MVP in March and will try to win under the fresh promotional banner against Furtado (11-2, 2 KO).
“After devoting time to improve my skills and calibrate my approach, I feel stronger and more concentrated than ever,” Ali said. “Last year, it was arduous from the competition, but it was necessary,” it was revived by the fire, which first attracted me to boxing. Working with John Ryder and Tony Simms completely transformed my approach to sport, and their total knowledge helped me develop as a warrior. “
Dillian Whyte says he wants to fight as much as possible to get another chance “For the title of World Champion”. The claimant for the title of the world in ponderous weight Whyte (31-3, 21 KO) was not warned next on the next month on June 7 against the determined opponent at Portman Road Football Ground. Whyte says that he wants to take advantage of this fight to activate himself and then get a “great fight” in July or August.
The mission of the title Whyte Whyte
To get the title shot against the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. fight. Daniel Dubois, he would have to overcome the pretender ranking, whose public boxing he respects. He cannot escape from choosing a lower feeding or a warrior who does not belong to the first 15. The perfect opponent of Whyte must overcome to get a quick shot on the title, comes from this list:
– Agit Kabayel – Joseph Parker – Jalolov Yalolov – Moses bites -Martin Bakole: *If its weight is in the middle of 280 years
The chances of choosing any of these fighters are distant because he would probably lose everyone and will be thrown out of misery. Even the main version of yourself would be above the head against these guys. They have too much talent for him and he will be quickly taken.
There is an idea “Great fight” He will be able to fight for the title of world champion, he will probably be against these warriors:
Michael Hunter: He took second place in WBA and will be the likely goal of Dillian’s “Massive Fight” to get a quick title.
Guido Vianelllo
Otto Wallin
Murat Gassiev
These warriors are technically pretenders in the heavyweight department. So Dillian would fight a pretender if he fought with one of these guys, but not in the absolute sense.
“I seriously go seriously to the last race and maybe fighting for the title of world champion. So I want to, Ring magazine About his purpose. “Inactivity basically killed my career in the last three years. I look at the great fight at the end of July or early August.”
What killed his career was his loss with Tyson Fury, not his inaction. Dillian was lively. He fought twice in 2024 and twice in 2022. The only year was inactive, it was 2023, but this is understandable. In 2022 he got a great payment against the cart, so he apparently enjoys money.
