Josh Taylor has pleaded guilty to racially abusing a bouncer after being thrown out of a nightclub in Edinburgh.
The boxing world champion was chucked out of Shanghai nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning before launching into a rant.
He called the doorman "a gay looking c***" and "a big Orange looking c***" before police were called to the scene.
Taylor, 28, who was fined £350, pleaded not guilty to possessing cocaine which was accepted during his hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

been there a few times. Full of wanks and hunners of asian folk wearing jackets walking round going “ mans not hot “

AJ ducks no-one.

Klitschko, Povetkin, Whyte, Takam, Parker and Ruiz rematch.

Now he wants Usyk.

Exactly the reason I like him and the way a true champion should conduct himself. "Bring on the challengers and I'll smash them".

nah he wants Usyk now before Usyk gets into a decent run of form in the HWs. And before he gets the weight on and can carry it.

Usyk is 32yo mate, he hasn't got long to get going at HW, especially as he had 350 amateur fights so he has a lot of miles on the clock. He is heavier than Wilder at 98KG.

Do you think he should try to put weight on and maybe lose some of his silky speed and foot skills? Or maybe try to remain elusive?

I don't know TBH.

Everybody was stating AJ was taking the easy option by fighting 38yo Pulev, now they are stating that he is fighting Usyk before he is ready.

I’d say he needs some weight on IMO compared to some of the cunts in the HW.

Wilder is just a big lanky mofo aint he. All he has is powder and it’s a hit and hope as all it takes is one bomb to land and your done.

AJ is 108KG (was for Ruiz II, so +10kg on Usyk) and has 10cm reach advantage (198 to 208cm).

AJ 1/2
OU 6/4
Draw 25/1

I won't back AJ at 1/2 but I expect him to win. Usyk is a notorious slow starter and AJ will win first four rounds by jabbing and throwing some right hands and staying busy. Usyk will then start to come into the fight but I expect AJ to stand his ground, dominate the centre of the ring and keep Usyk on the back foot. Usyk creates beautiful angles with his footwork but doesn't have great power, so I expect AJ to overpower and dominate him over R5-12 with a late stoppage or a wide decision.

KK

He can let AJ fight Pulev then and wait his turn.

Wilder Fury II meant to be Feb 22nd so approx 8 weeks away.

It's either going to be delayed or the boys are clearing the systems out before official confirmation of the bout triggers mandatory testing (of course Wilder has never been busted for gear, Fury has).

Usyk ain’t beating AJ

No chance

 

[Guest82]

Usyk would and will box the ears off AJ. He is a superstar and a fucking dude as well

 

[huntingground]

Usyk could beat AJ at dancing, not boxing.

Him and Loma are the 2 best boxers on earth atm. You seen the video of them punching football's into a goalie lol?

I don't disagree that they are the two best pure boxers but it is different going up against a monster heavy like AJ when you are massively underpowered and undersized. AJ wouldn't come in as light as he was for Ruiz, I would reckon around 245 at weigh in as he would be looking to engage with Usyk as he knows he could walk through his power and blow him away.

Out of his last 5 fights (I cannot count Witherspoon) he has 2 TKOs and 3 PTS wins, all at cruiser. If he isn't KO'ing people at cruiser, he has no chance of KO'ing AJ. And, let's be honest, he would need to win clearly to get a decision against AJ on a Matchroom card (I cannot imagine a decision going against AJ on a MR card unless he was beaten decisively).

So hed rather fight a pumped up cruserweight rather than a proper HW in Pulev, and this is seen as ducking nobody

Also Usyk and Pulev are mandatories, he has no hoice but to fight them
