Boxing tonight: TV channel, live stream, ringwalk times and full fight card in Glasgow
After a year out of the ring, Josh Taylor makes his boxing return in Glasgow tonight at the SSE Hydro.
The Tartan Tornado has been out of the ring for a year, ever since he lost his rematch against Jack Catterall via a unanimous decision. The Prestonpans boxer is currently on a two-fight losing streak, but will hope to snap that when he faces Ekow Essuman.
Taylor's run began in June 2023, when he dared to be great by taking on Teofimo Lopez, who managed to snatch his WBO light-welterweight championship away via a unanimous decision before Catterall exacted revenge on the Scotsman last year. Now Taylor is back, he will be determined to mark his ring return with a bang as he aims to scale back up the rankings to world title contention. Here, Record Sport takes you through everything you need to know to watch the former unified champion in action.
TV Channel
Taylor and Essuman will be the main event of the audaciously named Land of the Brave card. As he is promoted by Frank Warren's promotion, Queensberry, the action will be broadcast on DAZN.
DAZN can be watched on television, but viewers who prefer the big screen will need to purchase a subscription. A one-off payment of £119.99 can be made, while those who prefer more flexibility can pay £24.99 a month and cancel at any time.
DAZN 1 HD can be viewed on channel 429 on Sky and is a compatible app with most smart TVs.
Live Stream
DAZN is primarily a subscription-based streaming site, so those who like to live stream their sport can do so by subscribing to the platform and downloading the DAZN app.
Ring walk
As is always the case in boxing, the ring walk time can often change at the last minute. The event is scheduled to start at 7pm BST on May 24.
Ring walk times often depend on how the undercard bouts conclude. If each match requires all of the allotted rounds, then the ring walk time will be later.
However, both Taylor and Essuman are predicted to be taking to the ring at around 10pm BST.
Full Fight Card
Taylor and Essuman is not the only explosive clash taking place in Glasgow. Titanic heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma, who has already been compared to Mike Tyson, will face Mike Balogun on the undercard.
Moreover, unbeaten featherweight Nathaniel Collins, who currently boasts a 16-0 record, will also be taking on Lee McGregor for the WBC Silver Featherweight championship. The full fight card is below:

Jack Conan reveals video from Katie Taylor inspired Lions before second Test win
Taylor, an Olympic gold medal winner and current undisputed world super lightweight champion, sent the good luck message to Andy Farrell's squad in the build-up to Saturday's second Test at Melbourne Cricket Club. The 39-year-old's words on the ability to dig deep turned out to be prophetic as the Lions emerged 29-26 winners after fighting back from an 18-point deficit. 'The video was unbelievably poignant and powerful. It spoke about being prepared to win with skill, but also being ready to win by will,' said Ireland number eight Conan, who like Taylor hails from Bray in County Wicklow. History made 🦁#Lions2025 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) July 26, 2025 'That was something that was massively summed up in the game because we were not at our best at all. 'It's huge because she comes from the town I'm from. I'm incredibly proud of where I come from and I know Katie is as well. 'She's gone on to achieve incredible feats in the boxing world. To be such a superstar, incredibly humble and driven is something that we leant on as well because we knew that Australia are a hugely proud nation and they showed it in spades. 'Everyone loved it, even the English and the Scottish boys and the Welsh boy – it resonated with everyone. It was unbelievably poignant, it was class. It really hit home for us.' It took a beautifully-taken try by Hugo Keenan with 51 seconds remaining to separate the rivals in one of the greatest Lions matches ever played. Remarkably, Keenan's touchdown was the first time they led in the match. Conan admits that victory tastes all the sweeter for having been taken to the wire as Australia raised their game to a whole new level a week after starting the series with a whimper in Brisbane. 'We were not at our best by any measure, but physically the lads dug in unbelievably well,' he said. Full time scenes in Melbourne 🥹🦁#Lions2025 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) July 26, 2025 'It was disappointing how we played, but we played for 80 minutes. Hugo getting over the line in the last minute was just unbelievable. 'It wasn't my best game. A lot of us weren't at the races at all, but we stuck in there. You can't fault the effort. I thought the defensive sets we put in, just whacking people and just staying in there, was unbelievable. 'It's something that will go down in history. They won't be writing the history books about how s*** we were, but they'll say that we won and that's all that matters. 'Everyone's over the moon. To be part of a Lions winning series team is incredibly special. The celebrations in the changing room wouldn't have been the same if we'd won by 20.'
