Josh Taylor Vs. Essuman, Itauma Vs. Balogun May 24

Former unnoticed champion Josh Taylor (19-2, 13 ko) will fight for the relevance and redemption on May 24, when he debuts his debut debut against the European WBO’s Eco Essuman (21-1, 8 Kos) belt) in Glasgow. Card flow He lives on a given (22:00 Local / 17:00 et / 14:00 PT) from this hydroelectric power plant.

It’s the first Taylor fight in Scotland from a controversial sage o Catterall, and this time there is no mistake for mistakes. He is older, harder and leaves with losses back. Let’s see if the crowd still believes.

Taylor Return home: Redemption Tour or Pension Road?

Taylor was a long fall for Taylor. After cleansing 140 victories over Baranchyk, Programis and Ramirez, he slid into the fog of controversial wins, injuries and finally, two clear defeats – one to Catterall, and the other against Teofimo Lopez, where he looked like the spirit of his old self.

Now at the age of 34, she enters the weight of the full wolves. And he will not respect his past. It will test what is left of the present. Essuman may not be elite, but he is not pushing. And if Taylor looks straight, tired or uninterested, Glasgow could quickly become hostile.

This is more than a return. It is a career intersection. Win, and he could get another big salary. Lose, and the conversation turns away from “what’s next?” that “What went wrong?”

Essuman shot to destroy the legacy – and he knows that

Essuman is not here for a salary. Former British, Commonwealth and IBF Euro Champion renewed after their only loss from Harry Scarff last year. Since then, Owen Cooper and Ben Vaughan has overthrown, he has made it clear to him: He wants a world-level fight.

He has an engine, has experience and has already broken his jaws in the ring. Ask Danny Ball. Essuman is not afraid of Glasgow. He fought under the lights in Wembley and Manchester. The stage will not scare him – and Taylor’s name won’t even.

If he wins, jumps straight into the WBO mix in 147. If he loses close? He will continue to come out with more credibility than when he entered.

Unforgettable British heavy Moses Itaum (11-0, 9 ko) returned on May 24, faced with former NFL carrier boxes, Mike Balogun (21-1, 16 KO), on this Hydro in Glasgow.

Balogun brings greatness rather than danger – Moses should break through it

Itauma destroyed Demsey McKean in two minutes of apartment last December in Riyadh. Since then, fans have been waiting for his next victim for months. Enter Mike Balogun: Southpaw, Hard Guy, a padded record and best known for being flattened by Murat Gassiev in less than six minutes.

Of course, Balogun has 21 wins, but let’s not pretend that these names mean nothing. His last trip? Points win over Lamont Capers – a walking definition of a “safe opponent”.

His window is. The Balogun is here to eat blows, trying to score and maybe survive long enough to test the patience of Itau. If that is possible at all.

Moses march – but the real danger is ahead

Golden boy Queensberry wants a belt. And with another dominant KO, a step closer to the eliminator of the title. If it looks sharp, you can bet on names like Hrgovic, Makhmud or Kabayel, start floating in the rear rooms.

For now, Balogun is speed speed. But itaum not only beat opponents – he wipes them. And if the balogun becomes messy or trembling for a second, they may wake up staring at the lights.

It is no longer proven here. This is about marking boxes until big fights land.
