BT Sports 1. Coverage starts 7:30pm with Josh expected at 10:30pm - latter going by the bookies advertising time. Coverage ends midnight, so fits in with that.

Looking forward to it. Although I did see Josh is 66/1 on at Skybet which suggests it really is a mismatch. For a World Title fight that's disappointing.

Unification fight against Ramirez for the four belts is the one though.

Bet 365 has the Josh fight on at 10pm. That's the time I was told earlier in the week as well

It's a fairly intriguing fight as his opponent is a complete unknown quantity and has never had a fight outside Thailand. The guy is unbeaten and has a high KO percentage for a light welterweight but he's not been in with anyone really of any note so it's hard to judge his level.

Khongsong might turn out to be sensational or he might be well out of his depth and stopped in the first few rounds. For that reason I do think it's a fight worth watching. I suspect Khongsong will be fairly tough but technically limited and I think Josh will break him down and stop him around 8 or 9.

Also worth noting that this is a mandatory defence so Taylor had no option but to take the fight or drop one of his world titles. It's not as if he has taken this as a easy or tune up fight.

No I know its mandatory, not having a go at Josh. More the boxing board.

I am hoping it's a decent fight and as you say his opponent is an unknown quantity. He's the same height and weight with 13 kos in 16 and unbeaten. 1/66 seems ridiculous for a boxing bout at this level.

Will be cheering on Josh.

66/1 on might just be because the bookies and fans don't know anything about him, so don't even give it a lucky punt.
Hope he wins but can't be dealing with his anti mask nonsense on twitter.

Thanks for the info guys

His best victory was away from home in Japan against a solid opponent, Kondo. Sparked the boy clean out.

He’s a live opponent and has worked himself into a mandatory position by winning the regional IBF strap.

Have Josh winning by late stoppage myself, but the odds don’t reflect that this is a real bananaskin for our man.

Bust rib maybe

possibly, he's still in a heck of a lot of pain, commentator just said possibly appendix/rib

going out on a stretcher

Mmmm

[Since90+2]

Very odd ending. Haye and Frampton saying Khongsong is milking it and they've never seen anything like it.

[Baader]

Godd for Josh but that was embarrassing.

[maturehibby]

wanted to get it over early so he could get a good rest before he went to Parkhead as Hibs huest to give the players encouragement and add some extra punch to Do the Celtic
