140 lbs champions- Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez haven’t shunned away from boasting their prowess in front of each other. Relishing their world titles and unbeaten records, both men have claimed that they will outwork the other in their upcoming in-ring battle.

However, much before their scheduled title unification bout, tensions spilled over. Following a verbal war in the press conference, the pair came face-to-face in the hotel lobby. Over there, they exchanged a few more words and got into a scuffle.

Despite the fact that it escalated quickly, the authorities were fast enough to separate both men. However, the situation has clearly intensified their in-ring collision.

Josh Taylor vs Jose Ramirez- A heated rivalry

Starting from the press conference to the media interactions, Taylor and Ramirez have taken brutal shots at each other. This is because they both want to get inside the other’s head and have a psychological advantage as they box for the undisputed gold. Furthermore, both parties will look to maintain their undefeated streaks on May 22.

As Taylor, who is a southpaw, will face Ramirez, who is an elite orthodox, the fight will seemingly be a clash of styles.

The undefeated champions have demolished every other contender at the super-lightweight division. So, they are the most viable opponents to each other. The champions will box in a 12-round headliner later tonight at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.

We might see one pugilist’s undefeated record go away. On the flip side, the other boxer would depart with all four 140 lbs titles, along with the bragging rights.
