'The Tartan Tornado' Taylor comes into the clash off the back of two losses, having been beaten by Teofimo Lopez before losing his rematch to Jack Catterall in May 2024.
Ekow 'The Engine' Essuman comes into the bout with a record of 21-1-0, with eight of his 21 victories coming by KO.
Essuman's only defeat came at the hands of Harry Scarff in 2023, losing by unanimous decision in Manchester, meaning Taylor will look to be the first man to KO Essuman to get back to form.
The Engine in turn looks to be the first man to KO Taylor, with both of his defeats coming by unanimous decision, with whoever can score the victory becoming the WBO international welterweight champion.

First Scotland goal 'massive' for Hirst
Scotland striker George Hirst told BBC Scotland: "To get that first goal is massive for me, but it was a great team performance and very professional."It was very disappointing on Friday night, we had to look at ourselves, but the good thing in football is you always have another opportunity and today we had that chance to put things right."They made it difficult for us, it was a dry pitch, there were millions of excuses we could've thrown out there, but we played with the right mentality."It makes my running a little easier, sharing the workload with Che [Adams]. If that's something to come moving forward then I'm not going to complain."

Liechtenstein 0-4 Scotland: What Clarke said
Scotland head coach Steve Clarke told BBC Scotland: "I know my players, I trust my players, we've had a couple of disappointments, but they've always shown resilience to come back and do what they can do."It'll have no bearing on what's going to happen later in the year, but it's nice to finish this camp with a nice win."It's not really a feel-good factor because it's still a disappointing camp. We didn't play as we can play at Hampden, so I'm certainly going to carry that on."There was hurt and anger in the dressing room and hopefully we can harness that and take that into the autumn games."This Scotland team have shown how competitive they can be against [Nations League finalists] Spain and Portugal. We can compete."On Che Adams' hat-trick: "I'm really pleased for Che. We know what he can bring. Strikers need goals, it's been a little while since he got one. I knew he was desperate to score."He got an early one which releases the tension a little bit. I left him on because I knew he'd be desperate for that hat-trick."He gets an assist for George [Hirst] too which is big, we play two strikers and they both score which is nice."It's not the first time I've [played two up top], its something we've used before."
