United States Josh Taylor’s opponents en route to becoming boxing’s only undisputed champion to put him on a par with Sau...
Josh Taylor has a huge domestic showdown on his hands this Saturday as he defends his light-welterweight titles against Jack Catterall in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Tartan Tornado is the undisputed champion at 141lbs and has blitzed his way to the top of the division with some incredible work over the past four years.

In that time, Taylor won the World Boxing Super Series at light welterweight before unifying the belts to become undisputed champion and he did it against a row of formidable fighters.
Looking at their records, the last six fighters the Scot has fought had a combined record of 136-1 and if he beats Jack Catterall, he’ll add his 26-0 record to his CV.
Viktor Postol – 29-1The Ukranian is the only man with a blemish on his record who Taylor has faced in his last six fights, but Taylor beat him via unanimous decision in the summer of 2018 before his World Boxing Super Series journey began.
Taylor secured the WBC’s mandatory position with this win, but it would be three years until he actually fought then-champion Jose Ramirez. Postol’s only losses have come against Taylor, Ramirez and WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford. Not bad.
Taylor knocked out Martin in the seventh round of their contest in Glasgow after a flurry of punches staggered the American and forced the referee to intervene.
Martin won two fights after the Taylor loss before losing to Robert Easter Jr. one year ago.
In the semi-finals of the World Boxing Super Series, Taylor scored a unanimous decision victory over the Belursian to secure his first world title.
Taylor collected the IBF light-welterweight title in May 2019, once again at the Hydro in Glasgow. Following the Taylor loss, Baranchyk has gone on a slide and lost two out of hix next three fights, including a loss to Montana Love on the Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley undercard.
When Taylor won the World Boxing Super Series against Prograis, he not only retained his IBF light-welterweight title, but he won the WBA (Super) and vacant The Ring light-welterweight titles.
American Prograis also bounced back on a Jack Paul card – this time against Ben Askren – as he defeated Ivan Redkach.

In perhaps Taylor’s most impressive performance to date, the 31 year old dispatched of the unbeaten Thai in the very first round.
Taylor nailed a savage body shot with just 2:41 on the clock. Khongsong has not fought since.
José Ramírez 26-0Taylor headed over to America for the first time in this stretch to face Jose Ramirez and he achieved the rare feat of becoming an undisputed champion thanks to another unanimous decision.
Only Taylor and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez are undisputed champions in boxing today. He became the fifth man to do it overall in the four-belt era after Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Terence Crawford and Oleksandr Usyk.
