It’s just Josh.

Just checked, so it is!

Never mind then.

Got to say looking forward to this fight.

Yup. Whenever it is.

My guess would be September or October

I hope Prograis wins. Don't really care for Taylor. Seems like a bit of a dick.

Taylor keeps on responding well to difficult situations and he’ll have to again, at a higher level. He’s on a fine run & has the momentum. Hopefully he can continue to respond to these increasingly difficult challenges. If he can indeed do it, it will be a very impressive achievement.

Dates and locations for the remaining two finals have yet to be revealed but will come after Prograis-Taylor. As previously reported by BS.com, the bantamweight finals between Japan’s Naoya Inoue and Fil-Am star Nonito Donaire is being targeted for November in Japan.

I understand concerns, but lets be honest, these americans fight in a country without uniform drug testing, where guys fight pedded up all the time as well., even in cases when caught before the fight (such as Ortiz). And funny enough the only ttime a pro boxer tested by USDA ever was reported as positive, the fight went ahead anyway as well. Thankfully they arent too involved in boing thes days it seems

Hope this has a nice clear winner so they can go straight into an undisputed show down with Ramirez. Think they both beat him but both would be good fights.

Build up will be interesting. Taylor gets in opponents faces but prograis comes from the streets, he won't have any of that. I remember Mayweather used to get in opponents faces but was very respectful when it came to zab judah, knowing that he would be taking a left hand to the chin at the first sign of judah seeing disrespect

Everything about that fight was crazy. Two mad families you wouldn’t mess with.

Prograis always seems to have a smile on his face I think. He’s not a nasty piece of work he’s just from N’Awlins.

Prograis will have nothing to worry about in terms of being the away fighter.

The WBSS' official promoter is Sauerland event who will be promoting the fight itself rather than an individual.

Shenanigans should be kept to a minimum.

You would have to expect Glasgow as the venue to maximise the crowd - as taking it elsewhere and probably clashing with other shows around that time wouldn’t make any sense.

Do you think Josh would quite like to fight at Edinburgh Castle?

Well.. he needs someone to sort that out. He tagged Edinburgh council in that tweet.

I’d love to have a fight in Edinburgh castle. I’m gonna start telling people on the bus today.

Prograis wants out of the final by the looks of it.
