Well, now, let me tell ya ’bout Josh Taylor, that young man from Edinburgh, Scotland. He’s a professional boxer, and a good one at that. Folks call him “The Tartan Tornado” ‘cause of how fast and hard he punches. Born and raised in Scotland, Josh has been in the boxing world for quite a while now, and he’s made a name for himself in the super lightweight division. He’s tough as nails, and his boxing record sure speaks for itself.
As of right now, Josh Taylor’s got a boxing record of 19 wins and only 1 loss. Ain’t that somethin’? He’s also knocked out 13 folks along the way. That loss, well, it came in a fight that left a lot of people scratchin’ their heads. The judges scored that one for Catterall, and Josh didn’t take too kindly to it. But that’s the way the game goes, sometimes. Judges see things different, but that don’t take away from Josh’s strength in the ring.
Now, if we’re gonna talk ’bout his biggest win, let’s go back to May 18, 2019. That was the day Josh Taylor became the IBF super lightweight champion. He went up against a real tough fighter, Ivan Baranchyk, and beat him good. Baranchyk had a perfect record back then, 19-0, but Josh wasn’t worried. He showed the world what he’s made of, and that victory pushed him to the top of his weight class.
Josh Taylor’s a bit of a rare breed in the boxing world, with his combination of speed, power, and smarts. It’s not just about throwin’ punches, it’s about how he works behind that jab, makin’ his opponents work harder than they thought they’d have to. But don’t let that calm demeanor fool ya, ’cause once he gets goin’, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Now, after that win in 2019, Josh held on to those championship belts for a while. He had the IBF, WBA, WBC, and WBO belts all in his possession, making him a real big deal in the super lightweight world. But, well, things don’t always stay the same. Josh’s contract with Bob Arum’s Top Rank expired, and he’s now lookin’ into what’s next in the UK market. That don’t mean he’s done with boxing, though. Oh no, he’s just gettin’ started on what could be another chapter in his career.
And, let me tell ya, that fight with Catterall back in 2022—it was one that had folks talkin’ for a long time. A lot of people thought Taylor should’ve gotten a closer scorecard, but the judges saw it differently. Sometimes in boxing, it’s not about how much you throw, but how the judges see things. But Josh, he’s tough, and I’m sure he’s gonna bounce back from that and keep on fightin’. Ain’t no stoppin’ him now, if you ask me.
At 33 years old, Josh Taylor’s still got a lot of fight left in him. He’s been around the block, had his fair share of wins and losses, but one thing’s for sure—he’s earned his place as one of the top super lightweights out there. Ain’t no doubt about that.
So, if you’re watchin’ his career closely, you’ll see that Josh Taylor ain’t done yet. He’s still got plenty of time left in the ring, and who knows what the future holds for him. One thing’s for sure though—when he steps into that ring, he’s always lookin’ to give it his all. That’s the kind of fighter Josh Taylor is, and that’s why folks love watchin’ him.
