Tickets for Taylor vs Baranchyk & Inoue vs Rodriguez WBSS semi-finals at SSE Hydro now on sale
Two star-studded World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) semi-finals featuring four unbeaten fighters. Three world titles at stake and combined records of 69-0. Four of the finest operators in their respective divisions and not one over the age of 28. It appears a can’t-miss event at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on May 18 as Scottish hero Josh Taylor challenges Belarussian Ivan Baranchyk for the IBF super-lightweight title, and Japanese sensation Naoya Inoue competes outside his home nation for only the second time as a pro, trying to win the IBF bantam belt from Emmanuel Rodriguez of Puerto Rico.
After initial doubts about Baranchyk’s continued participation in the tournament, the 19-0 (12) champion appears to be in and confident of knocking out Olympian Taylor, who has looked dazzling in compiling a 14-0 (12) record.
As for Inoue he looked unstoppable in destroying the world-class Juan Carlos Payano last time out, grabbing his 17th victory, and 15th inside the distance. But Rodriguez is super-talented and at 19-0 (12) can clearly bang a bit.
