(Image: (Photo by) ) Queensberry Promotions returns to Scotland as Josh Taylor steps into the ring with Ekow Essuman tonight. An all-Scottish affair will also take place on the card, with unbeaten former British champion Nathaniel Collins locking horns with former European bantamweight champion Lee McGregor. Thirty-four-year-old Taylor makes the step up to the welterweight division following his controversial defeat to Jack Catterall last year - the rematch of their 2022 encounter where Taylor was victorious. The Scotsman's opponent, Essuman, has lost just one fight in his professional career, knocking out eight of 22 opponents. He has previously held the WBC International Silver, British, Commonwealth and IBF European titles. That sole defeat came in 2023, where he lost to Harry Scarff by unanimous decision. He has won his last two fights against Ben Vaughan and Owen Cooper, which both took place last year. Also fighting on this card is young British heavyweight Moses Itauma. One of the youngest heavyweights in the division, he turned professional in 2023 and has won all of his 11 fights so far, with nine knockouts. Article continues below Queensberry head honcho Frank Warren said: "I am delighted to have Josh as a Queensberry fighter for his welterweight journey, and he will be tested, believe me, by his opponent in Ekow Essuman tonight. "Ekow is a proper fighter and someone I hold in the highest regard. He has been with us a long time and has delivered the goods, winning plenty of titles and always giving entertainment value to the fans. If it wasn't for a slip-up at the end of 2023, Ekow would have fought for a world title by now, but he has built himself back and taken part in two thrilling fights since then."

Whittaker vs Cameron 2 start time, fight card, and how to watch on TV
Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron first boxed on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in October. But their fight ended controversially after both fighters toppled over the ropes onto the ring apron. Whittaker had to be wheeled out of the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia after sustaining injuries in the tumble, with Cameron the only fighter present in the ring as the scorecards were read out, which ruled a split-decision technical draw. Neither light-heavyweight has fought since that night, and with the Whittaker vs Cameron sequel scheduled for Easter Sunday, pressure is growing on both sides to deliver. Since their first fight, Olympic silver medalist Whittaker has faced backlash for the bizarre incident that cut the fight short after five rounds; the 27-year-old was accused by some of quitting, after being placed under a lot of in-ring scrutiny from his rival. Their rematch is a hotly-anticipated bout, so here's everything you need to know about the fight: When is the fight? Whittaker vs Cameron 2 is set to take place on Sunday 20 April at the bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham. How can I watch it?
