Josh Taylor – What would be next for him?
On bagging a win, Taylor will not only be a cash cow at the 140 lbs but can also aim for lucrative fights at the welterweight division (147 lbs). The winner of the fight would be eligible to challenge Terence Crawford or Errol Spence Jr for the welterweight golds.
