Josh Taylor hits back at sick Teo Lopez claim as he tells him 'we’ll see who ends up in an ambulance'

Josh Taylor has fired back at Teofimo Lopez after the American made a sick claim he wants to ‘kill’ him in the ring.

The boxing pair will lock horns next Saturday at Madison Square Garden with the Tartan Tornado’s WBO super lightweight crown on the line. And former undisputed champion Taylor has refused to be intimidated by Lopez ahead of the clash.

Taylor said: “He can come try and take my life, let’s see who is the one who ends up in the back of an ambulance. That may be a horrible comment back but let him come and try, let’s see what happens. Good on him.”
