It is going to be tough for him to alter the direction of travel we have witnessed in recent fights. Let’s hope 2019 is also the year the heavyweight division finally shakes down to reveal who is the best. I’m confident Josh Taylor will make it six when he meets IBF super lightweight champion Ivan Baranchyk in the WBSS semi-finals. WBA/IBF lightweight champion Katie Taylor has her eye on unifying the division against WBO and WBC champs Rose Velante and Delfine Persoon. I’d be looking at a unification fight with WBO champ Oscar Valdez next or WBA king Leo Santa Cruz.
