East Lothian boxing star Josh Taylor ties the knot with fiancée in stunning ceremony

Josh Taylor was seen dressed up to the nines last week as the boxing star married his fiancée Danielle Murphy.

The 31-year-old, from East Lothian, shared a stunning snap on social media of the pair on their big day where they were surrounded by friends and family.

Walking down the aisle on Saturday (June 18), the undisputed light ­welterweight champion sported a kilt while Danielle was seen in a breathtaking lace dress.

Previously stating he had promised he wouldn't be sporting a black eye for the big day, Josh appeared to have kept to his word as the couple posed for pictures.

Speaking about the wedding plans, Josh had shared that the wedding had been delayed due his fight against Jack Catterall earlier this year.

However, the 31-year-old said he would never be able to forgive the people who sent her death threats after his controversial ­split-points decision victory, reports the Record.

He said: “I kept my promise to Danielle that I would not walk down the aisle with a black eye.

“The wedding has been a long time coming. It should have happened two years back but I was too busy and preoccupied with defending my titles and fighting Catterall.

“Danielle is my world and that’s why the death threats she and my younger sister Finch received after the fight cut so deeply.

“I’m used to it and can take a bit of stick but to target two young women like that is just sick.

“They told Danielle she should be in the ground and she was going to get stabbed and her throat slit.

“She would be lying in bed at night crying. It was just awful.

“I don’t care when folk say they think Jack Catterall won the fight as they are entitled to their opinion but when they start abusing and ­personally attacking your family, that is something else.

“I’d love to see them trying to say those things to my face.”
