Josh can’t rile Ohara

-

JOSH TAYLOR vowed to make Ohara Davies show “his true colours” after the Londoner refused to take the bait at a press conference in Glasgow.

Scot Taylor and Davies will clash at the Braehead Arena on July 8 for Taylor’s Commonweal­th superlight­weight title in a show named “Bad Blood”.

After clashing on social media for months, the pair came face-to-face yesterday when Taylor tried to rip Davies’ sunglasses off and told Davies he was “too thick to outbox me”.

Davies enraged Taylor by not rising to his jibes, saying: “I have said a lot of things about him on social media, but I know he is not a bum.

“Even though the show is called ‘Bad Blood’, there is no bad blood on my part. Josh Taylor is a good fighter and I don’t hate him. It is just business.”

Taylor said: “I thought it was very tame, but his true personalit­y and antics will come out. You can’t hide your true personalit­y.

“I tried to prise it out of him, but he’s been told to keep it respectful – but we will see his true colours.”
