Josh Taylor has revealed how a golfing accident helped put him on the path to world title glory.

Taylor bids to become the first British fighter to hold all four belts in one division when he faces Jose Ramirez for the undisputed light-welterweight title in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday.

The unbeaten Scot, who holds the WBA Super and IBF crowns, says he started fighting after a mishap with a golf club as a kid left him with a scar on his face.
