The fight itself is an intriguing one in that is pits possibly one of the most exciting prospects in world boxing in Josh Taylor against a highly respected former world champion in Miguel Vasquez.

Taylor’s WBC ‘Silver’ super-lightweight title will be on the line. A belt he won in his previous contest in the form of a sensational stoppage against British rival Ohara Davies.

Credit to him for taking such a fight at this stage of his career. Style-wise it should make for quiet the scrap. These are the exciting fights boxing needs.
