On Saturday May 24th, Queensberry Promotions brings boxing to Glasgow with a clash between former undisputed world junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor and former British welterweight champion Ekow Essuman. A hero in Scotland, Taylor is known as the "Tartan Tornado." Coming off a loss to Teofimo Lopez, he hopes to reinvent himself at 147 pounds but he has to get by a once-defeated former GB teammate from Nottingham. Also on the show, rising heavyweight Moses Itauma will introduce himself to the Scottish public in his twelfth fight as a professional, but two smaller men will be looking to grab the headlines on the night.

 

Former British featherweight champion Nathaniel Collins takes on former European bantamweight champion Lee McGregor. Up at cruiserweight, it will be England vs Scotland when force of nature Aloys Jr. is matched with David Jamieson. Queensberry’s young Scottish boxers, Drew Limond, Alex Arthur Jr. and Reece Lynch have the chance to shine in separate bouts, with Arthur and Lynch making their professional debuts.

 

The show will be Queensberry’s third chapter of its new deal with DAZN. “We will be kept on our toes at all times,” explained Queensberry's Frank Warren. “With multiple promoters on the platform, we all want to be the best and put together the strongest shows that attract the biggest audiences. We intend to be #1.”
