The WBSS has received a welcome bit of news today in the form of standout world boxing prospect Josh Taylor getting added to the next installment of the tournament.
Taylor is on the verge of going from prospect to world title challenger at this stage mind you, and could very well land himself a title shot soon in the WBSS.
A man who rises to the occasion and performs better with the stiffer the opposition in front of him, a tournament like the World Boxing Super Series where most of the best fighters from a weight class gather – should suit him down to the ground.
The official news came a short time ago:
