Hey everyone, I’m back again to share something I’ve been digging into lately. It’s about the boxer Josh Taylor. I got curious about his record and decided to do a deep dive. So, here’s what I did and what I found out.
First off, I started by just browsing around to get a feel for who this guy is. I mean, I’d heard the name before, but I didn’t really know much about him. Turns out, he’s a Scottish boxer, goes by the nickname “The Tartan Tornado,” and he’s 33 years old. He’s been boxing professionally for about 9 years and 4 months, mainly in the super-lightweight division.
Next, I wanted to see some actual numbers. So, I hit up a few different boxing sites to piece together his record. From what I gathered, his current record stands at 19 wins, 2 losses, with 13 knockouts. He’s had a total of 21 bouts. Pretty impressive, right?
Then I got into the nitty-gritty of his career. I started looking at some of his key fights. He’s a former super-lightweight world champion and has 5 world-title wins. He won the IBF light-welterweight title by defeating Ivan Baranchyk. What really caught my eye was how he unified the division by beating Regis Prograis. This win also got him the Muhammad Ali Trophy, which is a big deal. This guy has fought 71 times and 49 is won! It sounds amazing.
I also read about his early career, where he started with seven straight knockouts. That’s a strong start for anyone. And get this – he beat three undefeated world champions on his way to unifying his division. Talk about making a statement!
- Total Bouts: 21
- Wins: 19
- Losses: 2
- Knockouts: 13
- Age: 33
- Nationality: Scottish
- Division: Super-lightweight
But it’s not all been smooth sailing. I found that he recently had a fight against Jack Catterall that didn’t go his way. All three judges scored in favor of Catterall, and honestly, it sounds like it was a tough fight. Taylor worked with his jab, but Catterall’s left hook was on point.
Doing this deep dive, comparing Taylor’s record to Rocky Marciano’s, who retired undefeated with a 49-0 record, really puts things in perspective. It’s clear that boxing is a tough sport, and every fight is a new challenge.
So, that’s my rundown on Josh Taylor’s boxing record. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot about a boxer I hadn’t really followed before. Hope you guys found this interesting too!
