“I have huge respect for Ramirez. He is a very good human being who doe...” — Josh Taylor Quote

I have huge respect for Ramirez. He is a very good human being who does so much for his causes and his people. A truly decent man. And a very, very good fighter. He brings real pressure and attacks from different angles.

I'm very laid back, but if someone is on me my temper goes. The fight comes out, the nastiness, the spitefulness. That's always been there.

I'd like to win the belts and take them back to Scotland and show Ken Buchanan, who told me as a kid that I 'had it.'

I was smaller than everyone else. People would try and pick on me.

Normally I set an example to kids to follow me into boxing as a better alternative to gangs and knife crime. That's what I will continue to do. Try my best to be a role model.

I think the biggest influence on my stand-up would be Chris Rock, in that I love that Chris is basically an essayist, in that he'll take a subject and just try and attack it from as many different angles as he can.

I run my routes like a crossover dribble. It's about taking angles, faking one way but going the other, and being savvy. And then, instead of running to the basket, I'm running away from the defender.

I'm sort of like Jean-Paul Goude, the graphic designer who used to style Grace Jones and shoot all her visuals, just meaning that I use all mediums in one - music, fashion, and art. I'm hitting it from all angles.

Obviously, not the biggest guy in stature. Straight-line speed wasn't my forte either. But I play very fast because I know the game. I take proper angles and know all my assignments.
