Welcome
Josh Taylor takes on Ekow Essuman in a Scottish homecoming fight TONIGHT!
Taylor is looking to rectify back-to-back defeats as he takes on 36-year-old Essuman.
'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.
But before this huge fight, there are several thrilling bouts on the undercard.
