Josh Taylor Moves to Top Rank and Closer to 140-Pound Classic Against Jose Ramirez
Opening The Door: Josh Taylor moves to Top Rank and closer to 140-pound classic against Jose Ramirez By Norm Frauenheim- Top Rank’s roster got deeper and its reach grew farther with Thursday’s surprising announcement that it had signed Josh Taylor, the Scottish junior-welterweight whose imminent stardom was evident in his majority decision over Regis Prograis for two of the 140-pound belts in late October. It was the second signing of worldwide significance for Top Rank, which signed bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue on the same day in November when he beat Nonito Donaire in a Fight of the Year performance. From Japan to Scotland, the sun never sets on Top Rank’s promotional empire these days. The top of the pound-for-pound debate provides a pretty good look at a promotional roster that is long on substance and name recognition. Among the top five, the order changes, but three are Top Rank fighters – Terence Crawford, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Inoue. Canelo Alvarez of Golden Boy and Errol Spence Jr. of PBC complete the elite five. There’s a chance, a good one, that more Top Rank fighters will begin to climb into pound-for-pound consideration on Top Rank’s ESPN schedule throughout 2020. There’s light- heavyweight Artur Beterbiev, junior-welterweight Jose Ramirez, lightweight Teofimo Lopez, featherweight Shakur Stevenson, junior-featherweight Emanuel Navarrete and now Taylor. For Taylor, it all depends on how he does against Ramirez. Taylor’s new deal opened the door for a Taylor-Ramirez fight for all of the relevant pieces to the 140-pound puzzle.

Unified Junior Welterweight World Champion Josh Taylor Signs Promotional Pact with Top Rank
Unified Junior Welterweight World Champion Josh Taylor Signs Promotional Pact with Top Rank (Jan. 9, 2020) — The 2020 forecast is in, and “The Tartan Tornado” is coming to Top Rank and ESPN. WBA/IBF junior welterweight world champion Josh Taylor, fresh off his tour de force in the World Boxing Super Series, has signed a multi-year promotional agreement with Top Rank. Taylor, from Edinburgh, Scotland, will make his Top Rank on ESPN debut in 2020 as he continues his quest to become the undisputed junior welterweight king. “Josh Taylor is one of the world’s best fighters, and he is a fight fan’s fighter, a tough guy willing to fight anyone we put in front of him,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “Whether it’s Jose Ramirez in a fight for the undisputed junior welterweight title or any of the welterweights out there, he’s ready for the biggest challenges. I want to thank Josh’s advisors at MTK Global, who have the same goal as us, which is to make him an international star.” “A new year, a new decade with lots of new beginnings, and I’m starting this new decade with a big bang,” Taylor said. “2019 was a huge year for me, but 2020 looks set to be even bigger and I’m delighted to have signed a deal with Top Rank and ESPN and an advisory contract with MTK Global. I believe I am with the best team to take my career to the next level. I couldn’t ask for a better partnership, and I know the future looks bright with this team lighting the way.” Said Jamie Conlan, MTK Global’s Professional Development Coordinator: “Josh Taylor was the 2019 Fighter of the Year, winning the World Boxing Super Series in fantastic fashion with his win over Regis Prograis.

One and Only: Jose Ramirez and Josh Taylor to Battle for Undisputed Junior Welterweight Crown May 22 LIVE on ESPN
One and Only: Jose Ramirez and Josh Taylor to Battle for Undisputed Junior Welterweight Crown May 22 LIVE on ESPN (March 2, 2021) — Two undefeated junior welterweight kings, one undisputed title. The stakes don’t get any higher. WBC/WBO champion Jose Ramirez, the pride of California’s Central Valley, will fight Scotland’s IBF/WBA champion Josh Taylor for the undisputed world championship Saturday, May 22. The winner will become only the second undisputed junior welterweight champion of the four-belt era, joining pound-for- pound great Terence “Bud” Crawford. Promoted by Top Rank, Ramirez-Taylor will be televised live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes (and simulcast on ESPN+) starting at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT. The location, venue, and undercard information will be announced shortly. “This is the best boxing has to offer, two elite fighters in the prime of their careers colliding in a legacy-defining matchup for the undisputed championship of the world,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “It’s a true 50-50 fight, one that the fans and both fighters demanded.” Ramirez (26-0, 17 KOs) has been a world champion since March 2018, when he toppled Amir Imam via unanimous decision to win the vacant WBC strap. Following the Imam victory, he hired noted trainer Robert Garcia, and the duo has combined to go 4-0 in world title fights. Ramirez knocked out Maurice Hooker in July 2019 to unify world titles and defended his belts last August with a majority decision over former world champion Viktor Postol.

Sport History
Oxenford Studios (OXB) Boxing Sport History Boxing Origins and the sport today: Boxing dates back thousands of years and was accepted by the ancient Greeks as an Olympic sport in BC 688. Prizefighting was popular in Great Britain between the 16th and 18th centuries, but numerous deaths in the ring resulted in the first boxing rules being introduced by champion Jack BROUGHTON in 1743, with a form of padded bandage or mitten encouraged. Boxing took more of a professional shape in the mid-19th century, with the Marquess of Queensbury rules drafted by John CHAMBERS in 1867 - Queensbury Rules are still associated with the sport today. Amateur boxing became an Olympic sport at the London 1908 Games, with a point-scoring system to determine the victor if neither of the fighters were stopped. Boxing at the Commonwealth Games: Boxing was part of the inaugural British Empire Games in 1930 and is recognised as a core sport – one of 10 sports that must be included at the Commonwealth Games. The others are: aquatics (diving and swimming), athletics, badminton, hockey, lawn bowls, netball, rugby sevens, squash and weightlifting. It has appeared at every Commonwealth Games and their equivalent. Women’s boxing was first contested in the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow 2014 and is also on the program at Gold Coast 2018. England top the overall Commonwealth Games boxing medal table, with a total of 118 (54 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze). Canada are second with a total of 82 medals and Scotland third on 63. At the Glasgow 2018 Commonwealth Games, a total of 52 medals were awarded, with England topping the gold medal table with five, in a total of seven medals.
