Barry McGuigan proud of Josh Taylor: 'We've been heartbroken as a family'

After a period tainted by tragedy, the McGuigan family had reason to be proud as their man, Josh Taylor, unified two of the super-lightweight world titles in a superb fight with Regis Prograis. In doing so he captured the Ali Trophy reserved for winners of the World Boxing Super Series and Shane McGuigan became one of exceedingly few UK coaches to have taken two separate boxers to unified belts.

The legendary Barry McGuigan, following personal losses in the build-up for both his family and Taylor’s, was understandably emotional in the aftermath of a gripping triumph.
