UNDISPUTED: SCOTSMAN TAYLOR BECOMES UK'S FIRST 4 BELT WORLD CHAMPION

Scotsman Josh Taylor is the first fighter in the UK to become the undisputed champion of the world, holding all four belts at the same time.

Taylor has rocketed to the top of the division, taking just 18 fights to get there. The Scotsman's last 6 opponents have a combined record of 136 wins and just 1 loss, proving that he has taken on and beaten the best in the division to claim all four world title belts.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, Scottish boxing gained a new superstar as Prestonpans southpaw Josh Taylor cleaned up the light-welterweight division with a unanimous points win over Jose Ramirez in Las Vegas.

Going into the fight, boxing purists were already baffled as to why the unbeaten Taylor - who won a world title in just his 15th fight - was still relatively unknown to the casual sports fan.

No major UK television broadcaster bothered to purchase the live rights to the Scotsman's undisputed clash but it made no difference to Taylor who became king of the 140-pound division and the only UK citizen to ever hold all the world titles in the four-belt era…
