Josh Taylor – What would be next for him?

On bagging a win, Taylor will not only be a cash cow at the 140 lbs but can also aim for lucrative fights at the welterweight division (147 lbs). The winner of the fight would be eligible to challenge Terence Crawford or Errol Spence Jr for the welterweight golds.

Hence, it would be a must-win situation for Taylor. Additionally, he is considered to be a more technical puncher than Ramirez. With the world titles and their undefeated records at stake, both men seem to unleash an intriguing collision. And only time will determine the better pugilist between them.

Who do you see winning? Taylor or Ramirez?
