Josh Taylor eyeing boxing immortality in undisputed Las Vegas clash with Jose Ramirez

Josh Taylor is itching to etch his identify into the historical past books towards Jose Ramirez by changing into Britain’s first undisputed world champion of the four-belt period.

Solely 4 different male fighters from around the globe — Oleksandr Usyk, Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor and Terence Crawford — have held the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles consecutively of their divisions.

And the 30-year-old ‘Tartan Twister’ is aware of he’ll obtain boxing immortality if he can add 28-year-old American Ramirez’s WBC and WBO belts to the light-welterweight titles he already holds in Las Vegas on Saturday.

He mentioned: “To be on the doorstep of attaining it’s loopy.

“Because of this I’m so motivated — my identify may have some form of greatness connected to it if I win this battle.

“Undisputed world champion within the four-belt period, the primary particular person from Britain to do it, the primary particular person in Scotland to do it, and there are solely 4 different fighters on this planet to have completed it.

“It’s a very, actually particular membership to be a member of and it’s one which places my identify within the historical past books so folks will hopefully be speaking about me once I’m lengthy gone.”

Lennox Lewis was the final undisputed world champion from Britain after his 1999 victory over Evander Holyfield accomplished the set of WBC, WBA and IBF titles within the three-belt period.

Whereas Taylor’s fellow Scot, Ken Buchanan, turned Britain’s first undisputed world champion in 1971, when he held the WBC and WBA world light-weight titles.

Taylor added: “I by no means thought I’d hear my identify talked about in the identical breath as Kenny’s as an undisputed world champion.

“Even once I turned skilled, folks had been saying, ‘Are you able to be nearly as good as Ken Buchanan?’

“I used to be, like, ‘Don’t disrespect the person, that is an all-time British nice and also you’re placing me in the identical breath. Come on, that’s ridiculous’.

“However now it’s a practical purpose and I’m just some days from attaining what he achieved.

“I’m near Kenny as properly, I’ve seen him lots through the years.

“I’d like to go dwelling and see him with the belts and say, ‘Look, I’m similar to you, Champ’.”

Taylor solely sees his conflict with Ramirez, who can also be unbeaten, ending a technique.

He mentioned: “I’ve visualised this battle time and again, 1000’s of occasions in my head, I’ve imagined it in a lot of other ways, and each single time it’s me profitable.

“My velocity, energy, talent, accuracy, boxing IQ, my mind shall be completely different to something he has confronted earlier than.

“The ball is in my court docket, the way in which I wish to take the battle on, I’m higher than him in each division and my talent ranges would be the distinction.

“He’s an excellent fighter, he comes ahead, places the strain on and he’s superb at what he does, so I’m not right here disrespecting him.

“I simply imagine I’m higher than him and he’s going to should show me incorrect.”

Ramirez v Taylor will stream reside and solely within the UK on FITE for £9.99. Reside protection begins at 130am UK on Sunday, Could 23.
