Amateur career

Taylor made a name for himself in the British amateur boxing circuit, being the first person to acquire five regional titles at the same time. [3]

Professional career

On 7 March 2020 Taylor made his professional debut, stopping his opponent with a big left hook in the second round, securing his victory against Jevgenijs Andrejevs at Harvey Hadden Sports Village, Nottingham, England. [4]

He defeated Troy Jones by unanimous decision to win the vacant WBA Continental Gold light-heavyweight title at Nottingham Arena on 10 May 2025. [5] [6]

Taylor was scheduled to challenge British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion Lewis Edmondson at the O2 Arena in London on 25 October 2025.
