Scots boxing champion Josh Taylor had to be held back by police ahead of his showdown with Teofimo Lopez in New York City.
The Tartan Tornado will bring his 15-month absence from the ring to an end when he faces off against the American at Madison Square Garden - and it looked like Taylor didn't want to waste another second as the fighters came together for the pre-match press conference. Taylor will look to defend his WBO super-lightweight belt against former lightweight champion Lopez and he had a few words for his foe before the showdown.
Taylor exchanged a few words with his foe at the press conference as they prepared for the face-off photo opportunity, while Lopez looked around and attempted to dismiss the champion before the fight. That appeared to only frustrate Taylor more as he made a move towards Lopez before security stepped in - with a New York City police officer holding back the former undisputed champ.
