In a chat with Sky Sports, Anthony Taylor said, “A lot of these people say Jake doesn’t take you serious. I am with Jake every single day. For a guy who has been training for three years, his growth is equivalent of a guy who has been boxing for six years. Imagine, you doing boxing for three years. You would probably go to the gym 2-3 times a week for an hour, right?”
“Jake has been going to the gym three years straight, three times a day, six times a week. So you gotta understand the growth is from here to here. The growth of the learning curve where he is at.”
