Scotland’s Josh Taylor became the undisputed Super Lightweight world champion, as he knocked Jose Ramirez down twice on the way to a thrilling unanimous decision win at Virgin Hotels, Las Vegas.
Taylor (18-0, 13 KOs) came into the fight as the WBA (Super), IBF and Ring Magazine champion, and he added Ramirez’s WBC and WBO straps to his collection to complete the full set of crowns, and emulate his hero, the former undisputed Lightweight world champion, Ken Buchanan, whilst also becoming the first Briton to hold all four belts.
