‘He’s a f***ing idiot… I’ll give him a spanking’ – Josh Taylor rips into Adrien Broner after controversial American teases UK fight
The highly-rated Scot would love to welcome Broner to his home country
Scotland’s great boxing hope Josh Taylor has called for a bout against the man who used to be America’s top prospect – Adrien Broner.
The super-lightweight contender is currently competing in the World Boxing Super Series tournament, but is already eyeing potential opponents for once he is finished with the competition.
Loud-mouthed Broner was comprehensively beaten by eight-weight world champion Manny Pacquiao last month, but insisted he won the bout in an explosive post-fight interview – not out-of-character for the 29-year-old.
When asked about the interview, Taylor told : “I really don’t think that he believes he won that fight [against Pacquiao]. He’s a f***ing idiot.
“My personal opinion of him, I think he’s an a***hole, he’s really disrespectful.
“He’s an idiot, he’s an idiot.”
Adrien Broner recently teased the possibility of his next fight taking place in the UK.
Upon hearing this suggestion, Taylor said: “I’ve seen that, I would love to fight him, why not?
“After this tournament, if he wants to come over I’ll give him a wee spanking as well. I’d love to.”
