The fight will take place at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. DAZN will broadcast the event worldwide, giving fans across the globe a chance to watch these two talented boxers go head-to-head.
Taylor, 34, enters the ring with a record of 19 wins, 2 losses, and 13 knockouts in his 21 professional fights. The Scottish fighter made a name for himself as the undisputed world super lightweight champion. Now, he's moving up to the welterweight division, looking to bounce back after two tough losses to Jack Catterall and Teofimo Lopez.
"I'm in good shape and looking forward to a possible comeback," Taylor said. "This fight against Essuman is just what I need to get back on track."
Taylor's purse for the fight starts at £375,000. That amount could grow to £1.5 million if the pay-per-view purchases exceed 700,000 sales.
On the other side of the ring, Essuman brings an impressive record of 21 wins and just 1 loss in his 22 fights. The European WBO champion has shown strong form lately, bouncing back well after his loss to Harry Scarff. His recent wins over Owen Cooper and Ben Vaughan have built up some solid momentum.
Essuman's base purse for the fight is £300,000, with the potential to reach £800,000 depending on pay-per-view sales.
This match-up pits Taylor's experience as a former undisputed champion against Essuman's recent hot streak. It's a crucial fight for both men, with Taylor aiming to prove he's still a force to be reckoned with in his new weight class, and Essuman looking to cement his place among the welterweight elite.
The SSE Hydro in Glasgow will likely be buzzing with energy come fight night. Scottish fans will be out in full force to support their hometown hero Taylor, while Essuman will be looking to silence the crowd with an upset victory.
With DAZN's global broadcast, boxing fans around the world won't want to miss this exciting welterweight clash. The stage is set for an action-packed night of boxing that could reshape the landscape of the welterweight division.
