March 9, 2021 Boxer Josh Taylor Relishes The Chance To Someday Face Idol, Pacquaio

Josh Taylor's ultimate dream would be to take on his idol Manny Pacquaio, who he fondly calls a "gentleman" and "ferocious".

Taylor is on the verge of history - he will face fellow undefeated world champion Jose Ramirez on May 22 for the undisputed super-lightweight title.

Victory would even mean Taylor pips Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury to undisputed glory, if their heavyweight mega-fight can be finalized, but the 'Tartan Tornado' has bigger goals to accomplish too.

Pacquiao, 42, is a legendary eight-division world champion currently regarded as the WBA welterweight 'champion in recess'.

IBF and WBA champion Taylor must first edge WBC and WBO titleholder Ramirez in one of the whole sport's most anticipated fights.

They are both champions in their prime from opposite sides of the Atlantic with a combined record of 43 unbeaten fights.

They have also both already defeated other previously-unbeaten champions in unification fights - Taylor beat Regis Prograis and Ramirez ousted Maurice Hooker.
