Josh Taylor is expected to return to the competition in November to protect the title of the championship against the challenge of Jack Cattterall, but on many forums, the talks around Taylor can fight Gervonta “Tank” Davis at some point in the future.
Taylor (18-0, 13 Ko) is completely confident that he not only defeats Davis (25-0, 24 Ko), but this puncher also does this quite easily.
“Davis is a very good, very good fighter, a skilled puncher. However, this puncher won Mario Barrios was not impressive.” – Taylor answered Boxing Social.
“But you hear this, I will completely destroy Gervonta Davis. It will be a good match, a big match, and I will take him down. I will smash in pieces.” – Taylor added.
Taylor rejected the statements from Davis's boss, Leonard Ellerbe that Taylor was not a big name. On the contrary, Taylor declared his name will attract thousands of fans from the UK to see his match. Taylor was a bit uncomfortable when Davis announced that this puncher would be the “champion” in the 140 weight class after defeating Mario Barrios last June.
“It's not that I provoked or solicited him but I felt this fist was a bit fussy. He claimed to be the 140 -class champion – fool, that title was mine.” – Taylor declares.
