Josh Taylor has welcomed a fight with Conor Benn just days after his world title loss to Teofimo Lopez.
Taylor, 32, suffered his first professional loss at the hands of Lopez in New York as the American also captured his WBO light-welterweight belt. 'The Tartan Tornado' was unbeaten in 19 fights heading into the bout, but his last win came in controversial fashion against Jack Catterall as many fans felt he lost the fight.
Benn called out Taylor and mocked him for his recent defeat by writing on Instagram: "Josh Taylor I’d happily give you your third beating on the spin. Don’t play with me.” Benn hasn't fought since knocking out Chris van Heerden last April as he tested positive for the banned substance clomifene after the win.
