The 17-0 boxer spoke to Bonus Code Bets UK and revealed his ideal venue. He said, “I’d love to have a fight at either Easter Road or Edinburgh Castle, that would be the whole bucket list ticked off. I’d have achieved everything I set out to achieve in the sport. That would be all my wishlist ticked off.”

Though Taylor’s comments suggested it would be a tremendous event, ‘The Tartan Tornado’ did not leave it at that. He even suggested who his ideal opponent would be for the potential blockbuster fight.

Taylor said, “A fight at Edinburgh Castle in the middle of the summer with the castle lit up in the background at night would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. It would be great to get Terence Crawford over or a massive title defence. It would be awesome – any fight at that venue would be amazing.”
