The clock is ticking for one of the most decorated boxing events of 2021 between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley. Every boxing lover is keeping a close eye on this bout. However, apart from this fight, there are some exuberant matchups on the undercard that are worth watching. One such bout on that list is between Anthony Taylor and Chris Avila.

Taylor fought on the Paul vs Woodley card in August this year. Here, he battled ‘The Problem Child’s biggest foe, Tommy Fury, in a 4-round fight. Taylor was a heavy underdog in this fight, and nothing went in his favor. As a result, he ended up on the losing side.

Now, Taylor has a fight in line for this weekend, and he’s only looking ahead to do well in there. Recently, all the fighters on Paul vs Woodley card were present at the press conference, wherein Taylor spoke about the lessons he learnt from his loss to ‘TNT’.
