FORMER undisputed boxing world champion Josh Taylor has been named one of the 10 sexiest boxers alive.
Taylor, who unified the light welterweight division when he defeated Jose Ramirez in 2021, was ranked number nine – behind Joe Joyce and ahead of Deontay Wilder.
The result comes from a new survey carried out by gaming experts Slotozilla, who polled 2,500 British people to determine which fighters set pulses racing the most.
Top of the list was two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua and he was joined on the podium by Oleksandr Usyk and Chris Eubank Jr.
According to the firm, Taylor’s “no-nonsense attitude and dedication to the sport give him a strong following”.
Taylor, who grew up in Prestonpans and now lives in Haddington, is due to make his welterweight debut in May when he takes on Ekow Essuman at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.
A spokesperson for Slotozilla said: "Boxing is a sport of grit and determination, but that doesn’t mean fans don’t appreciate a fighter’s looks too.
“Anthony Joshua’s win in this survey proves that power and personality go hand in hand when it comes to attraction."
