Josh Taylor made history on Saturday by becoming Great Britain s first four-belt undisputed world champion with a performance that puts him in the same bracket as the best ever boxers from the United Kingdom.
The Scottish boxer became only the fifth male boxer to win a unification title fight with all four major belts (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO) on the line when he floored Ramirez in the sixth and seventh rounds with a left hook and left uppercut, before weathering late pressure to win by scores of 114-112 on all three scorecards in Las Vegas.
