Tickets on sale for Josh Taylor's World Boxing Super Series fight at SSE Hydro

Tickets are on sale for a massive professional boxing tournament at the SSE Hydro next month.

A total prize fund of $50million is up for grabs at the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS), which brings together some of the best Cruiserweight, Super-Middleweight and Bantamweight fighters from across the globe.

And there will be a Scottish presence at the tournament , with Josh Taylor - who won gold in the 2014 Commonwealth Games - taking on Belarus' Ivan Baranchik in the fire semi-final of the night in the Super Lightweight division.

The winner of that much will face either Regis Prograis or Kiryl Relikh in the final. Their semi-final takes place in Lafayette later this month on April 27.
