Josh Taylor can handle expectation

Scotland boxer and former Commonwealth Games medalist Josh Taylor vows to handle the expectation on his shoulders at this summer's competition in Glasgow.

Scotland boxer Josh Taylor has insisted that he can handle the expectation on his shoulders at this summer's Commonwealth Games.

The home favourite got his light welterweight challenge underway on Saturday evening with victory over Kagiso Bagwasi.

"There is expectation on me because I went to the last Games and got silver and the Olympics as well and I think there is a lot of expectation on me, but I don't feel any pressure," he told reporters.

"I am going to enjoy every single minute of it because it is going to be here and gone in a flash."

Taylor is one of the most experienced fighters in his particular category this summer.
