Former indisputable champion Josh Taylor (19-2, 13 kos) will fight for relevance and redemption on May 25 when he debuted heavy weight against Wbo Ekow Essuman (21-1, 8 kos) in Glasgow. The Card Flows Live in Dazn (22:00 PM Local / 17:00 ET / 14:00 PT) of the Ovo Hydro.
It is Taylor’s first struggle in Scotland from the controversial side saga, and this time there is no margin of error. It is larger, heavier and reaches the return losses. Let’s see if people still believe.
Taylor’s Homecoming: Redemption Tour or Retirement Road?
It has been a long fall for Taylor. After cleaning 140 with wins on Baranchyk, Programis and Ramírez, he fell into a fog of wins, injured injuries and, finally, two clear defeats: one at the 12th and the other against Teophimo López where he looked like a ghost of his old self.
Now at the age of 34, he walks to a wolf -filled weight class. And they will not respect their past. They will test what is left of the present. Essuman may not be elite, but it is no impulse. And if Taylor looks flat, tired or selfless, Glasgow could be hostile again.
This is more than a comeback. It is a race crossroads. Earn, and I could get another big day. Losing, and the talk comes from “what’s wrong?” to “What happened wrong?”
The firing of Essuman to destroy a legacy, and he knows
Essuman is not here for payment. The ex -British Campion, Commonwealth and Ibf Euro has rebuilt after its only loss against Harry Scarff last year. Since then, he has been eliminated in Owen Cooper and Ben Vaughan, and has made it clear: he wants fights worldwide.
It has the engine, has the experience and it has already broken jaws in the ring. Ask Danny Ball. Essuman is not afraid of Glasgow. He has fought under the lights of Wembley and Manchester. The stage is not afraid of it, and Taylor’s name either.
If you win, jump directly to the WBO mix at 147. If you lose near? It will still come out with more credibility than when he entered.
