He's 21 I think and only started boxing a few years ago. He's doing really well considering he's only been boxing for about 3 years. Fury said Joshua beat him up in sparring
Still in the unpaid ranks from what i can gather but has slipped out of the GB squad after a few poor performances
Thanks for that I sparred him down at Crystal Palace & also went down to the ABA finals the year he fought Tony Bellew & was impressed on both counts but he seemed to go off the radar.
Tommorrow there is an Scotland V Wales show in Edinbrough featuring some England boxers too. Confirmed bouts so far are: Josh Taylor (Scotland) V Mitch Buckland (Wales) Qais Ashfaq (England) V Joe Ham (Scotland) Tommy Langford (England) V Aston Brown (Scotland)
He beat Sunderlands Warren Baister in the semi finals of the GB championships but was beaten by Simon Vallily 4-3 in the final. He'll probably (but not certain) have to box in the ABA's to get back into contention
cheers pal, a lad from my old gym is having his first year in the seniors, he won the CYP's the other month and last year was junior ABA runner up
