Anthony Taylor, the outspoken influencer boxer, suffered a major defeat at the hands of Idris Virgo on the undercard of the KSI vs FaZe Temperrr back in January. Taylor who has been an athlete in both MMA and boxing has made a decent mark in the influencer boxing scene. With a record of 7-5, he has had a mediocre career. However, he recently made a statement in his last fight against Salt Papi.
In the MF & DAZN X Series 7, ‘Pretty Boy’ beat Papi convincingly, resulting in a clear decision victory. Despite Papi’s growing reputation in both the crossover and traditional boxing communities, he struggled to evade Taylor’s clean and effective punches. Now, Taylor has come out and addressed his previous setbacks also thanking Misfits Co-President Mams Taylor in the process.
