Josh Taylor savages "monster" Nicola Sturgeon after First Minister's resignation

Boxing world champion Josh Taylor has taken aim at Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon after she announced her resignation, branding her a "monster" in a vicious tweet.

The former undisputed super-lightweight world champion is never one to shy away from controversial topics, with his post about Sturgeon sandwiched between angry messages about the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. He is currently nursing an injury that cost him a rematch with Jack Catterall, and is expected to return in the summer.

And after Sturgeon today announced she would be leaving her post as First Minister in order to help Scotland's push for independence, the boxer took aim in a Twitter post to his 158,500 followers. Taylor has remained in the middle about a potential second independence vote, but is evidently not a fan of Sturgeon's regardless.
