Josh Taylor delivers X-rated Regis Prograis putdown as pair clash ahead of World Boxing Super Series Final

Scottish boxing hero Josh Taylor has come out fighting with an expletive-laden blast ahead of his light-welterweight unification showdown with Regis Prograis.

The Tartan Tornado has promised to take apart his rival and reckons Rougarou will be exposed when the pair clash in the final of the World Boxing Super Series on Saturday.

Rougarou was full of confidence during the presser in London on Thursday but Taylor was quick to turn the screw on his fellow unbeaten rival.

Prograis claimed his 24-0 record is due to his own ability rather than the lack of quality opposition.

But the IBF kingpin disagreed.

Taylor said: "Padded record.

"You've been up against bin men and stuff like that.

Prograis appeared confused by the barb but Taylor doubled down.

He added: "Aye, I know you don't understand.

"Take your glasses off you're inside, you f****** w*****."

The trash talk continued when the pair squared off for the customary face-off with both fighters refusing to give an inch.

Boxing experts reckon the tussle between the two best 140lb fighters in the world could be the fight of the year.

And the bookies are having a hard time splitting the pair with nothing to separate them in the market.
