Married
30-year-old Josh Taylor has been dating Danielle Murphy for a long time and the two finally exchanged rings in December 2020. Taylor posted the pictures through his official social media handle, sending several fans into a frenzy. Trainer Ben Davison and sparring partner Lee McGregor also accompanied Josh Taylor in a yacht celebration.
Next Fight
Josh Taylor is saying that I’d like to go up to 147 and chase a real, real big fight like Terence Crawford. I’m not going to call him out and stuff. I think he’s a great fighter, but I just think two undisputed champions (from 140) going at it at 147 would be awesome, would be amazing.”
Red Sox
Taylor will join the Red Sox bullpen ahead of Monday night’s game against the Yankees after missing close to four weeks of action following a positive test for COVID-19 back in early July.
Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list after testing positive for the virus in July. The left-hander would be a welcome return for a bullpen that is currently ravaged with injuries, and the healthy hurlers aren’t exactly pitching well, either.
