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:

Celtic transfer D-day fast-tracked as £40m deadline looms amidst five week countdown
The clock is ticking towards the most lucrative games of the season Another summer, another window of frustration so far for Celtic fans - and Brendan Rodgers knows the script all too well. We're just over a week away from the big Premiership kick-off and there are gaping holes all over the champions' squad. Alarm bells are ringing among the Parkhead faithful, who've seen this movie before - big sales, slow signings, and another race against the clock. Celtic have banked £27million from the exits of Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn but are still searching for replacements. Shin Yamada might spring a surprise, but Rodgers has made it clear he wants more firepower through the door and fast. Record Sport understands at least one winger, a midfielder and a main striker remain top of Rodgers' wish list. And with just 38 days until the window slams shut, punters are understandably agitated at the lack of movement. There's been no shortage of departures - 12 out the door - but of the six new faces, only Kieran Tierney and Benji Nygren look first-team ready. As it stands, Celtic will kick off their title defence with Daizen Maeda, a 34-year-old James Forrest, and unproven pair Yang and Marco Tilio as their only fit wide options. Tilio's barely featured since arriving in 2023, and Yang has yet to convince. It's hardly ideal when a £40million, winner-takes-all Champions League playoff looms next month. Sure, plenty can happen between now and then. But there's no luxury of bedding players in. Celtic need ready-made starters, not projects. The transfer deadline falls one day later than usual this year - Monday, September 1 - with August 31 landing on a Sunday. But the real pressure point comes far sooner. Rodgers and his recruitment team have until midnight on Thursday, August 14 to register players for the playoff. UEFA rules allow two late additions to the 25-man squad until the day before the first leg on August 19/20. The Hoops will discover their playoff opponents when the draw is made on August 4 and by then, Rodgers will be hoping the board has backed him properly. These are the most lucrative games of the season - and Celtic can't afford to get caught cold.

Celtic transfer exodus continues with 12th summer exit but Brendan Rodgers puts the brakes on another departure
The Hoops have wasted no time clearing the decks this summer but are in dire need of reinforcements Six in and 12 out. It's perhaps not the arithmetic Brendan Rodgers had in mind when formulating his transfer masterplan this summer. Celtic have cleared the decks by getting rid of some deadwood, while also banking a whopping £17million by flogging Nicolas Kuhn. Throw in the seven-figure bonus from Jeremie Frimpong's switch to Liverpool and the Parkhead coffers are well and truly swelling. On Friday, forgotten Bhoy Adam Montgomery became the latest outcast to leave the building as he sealed a season-long loan switch to Livingston. He follows Scott Bain, Matthew Anderson, Maik Nawrocki (loan), Gustaf Lagerbielke, Liam Bonetig, Luis Palma, Jude Bonnar (loan), Daniel Cummings and Joey Dawson out of the exit door, while Greg Taylor also upped sticks for Greece. South Korean winger Yang was on the scoresheet in Como Cup action and although Norwich City are sniffing around, Rodgers has made it abundantly clear the 23-year-old won't be allowed to go - at least until new faces arrive. Speaking after the 5-1 humbling at the hands of Ajax, the gaffer said: "I see Yang as an important member of our squad. He's a player that showed that domestically he can play well for us, and really well. "He scored goals. He created goals. You see tonight that the goal he scored is very, very good. "It's always a challenge, I think, at a club like Celtic, whenever players have maybe been for a couple of seasons and they're not quite established. "Because then they want to go and play more. But certainly at this stage, where we're at within the squad, it's not something I can even entertain. You see he's starting the games. "And I see him as an important player for us in our squad. And once we can get the quality around him, then he'll be a good player for us. 'It's hard to say. At this moment in time, he's a starting winger for us. So we're not in a position to be moving him on. At this moment in time, it's not even in our thinking really." With Jota crocked until 2026, Celts have been depleted of wide options. Marco Tilio has agreed to an initial loan move to Rapid Vienna, but it's unlikely the deal will be rubber-stamped until Rodgers lands further reinforcements. Talks are ongoing with Royal Antwerp over a swoop for Michel-Ange Balikwisha but as things stand, both clubs have yet to find a middle ground over the £5m asking fee. As Record Sport revealed, the Hoops are also looking for a main striker and another midfielder remains a top priority.

Solving golf's biggest problem with eight elite stars as DeChambeau, Rahm and more reveal how to eliminate awful issue
Biggest names in the game gave their take on the miserable problems of slug-like efforts on the courses around globe Super Scottie Scheffler's brilliant win at Royal Portrush was a celebration of outstanding golf. The Open venue in Northern Ireland was also a triumph with the magnificent Dunluce Links producing a fabulous event. However, the 153rd Championship was once again blighted by the painful sight of players taking almost six hours over the first two days to complete rounds. Thursday and Friday were a slog. Changing weather was a reason, but the angst amongst some competitors and fans was obvious. PGA Tour chiefs have been trying to find solutions with range-finders tested earlier this year in competition golf. Shot clocks and stroke punishments have been mooted as the ever-increasing problem remains a savage issue in the professional game. Record Sport listened intently to the thoughts of some stars at Royal Portrush and heard their gripes, reasoning and potential answers to the problem. Bryson DeChambeau: It's very simple. It's not difficult at all. You eventually time everybody for their whole entire round. Nobody wants to do it because people are too scared to get exposed, which I am an advocate for. I'd love to be timed and I have no problem with that. Everybody plays a different style of game, and that's just the way it is. I wish it was just a new system. If somebody is playing slower, the guy can go up to him and say: Hey, man, you're over par with your time. All you do is you just time them for every single shot. He gets there and puts the bag down and how long it takes him to hit that shot. How long it takes him to walk to the green. It's not rocket science. You time how long someone takes individually and then you separate that from the other person playing. You start/stop on him the whole entire thing. It's one way. I'm not saying it's the answer. I'm definitely not somebody that has the most experience or knowledge on it. If somebody has a different way of monitoring it, I hope there's a better system out there at some point in time. Once you start penalising individuals for taking too much time.' Henrik Stenson: You just don't want to play on the clock. I certainly don't feel like I'm a slow player these days and it's like you can take 30 seconds on one shot, 40 on another one and you might take 52 on another one and you're still kind of averaging it out. But if you're on the clock, you're going to get noted if you take 52 on one. I don't think it matters how quick you are as a player, you don't want to be on the clock if you miss one in the wrong place, you want to go up and check and this and that and that clocks starts ticking. I'd prefer not to play on the clock. Yeah, we're having some discussions on that.' Matt Fitzpatrick: I do think it's ridiculous; the pace of play has been a combination of the way the golf course is and all that normal stuff. But it starts with the players as well and starts with the rules officials. Obviously we'd all like to be round in four and a half hours, but that is what it is. I think it's just impossible to answer, isn't it? There's so many different parts to it. I think it is a difficult one. But I think players probably speeding up a little bit probably will help the situation, but yeah. Justin Thomas: It's a lot of people in a golf tournament. That's going to create. I mean, a city that has a lot more population, traffic is going to be a lot worse than it is in Pikeville, Kentucky, that's just the way it is. Then you add the elements and add everything, it's just going to be a long day. Viktor Hovland: I think almost six hours, just under six hours. That's brutal, especially when you have to focus for so long. It's not easy. It takes a lot out of you. Jon Rahm: We had a lot of rain come in and out, so umbrellas out, glove out, put the rain gear on, take the rain gear off, give the umbrella to the caddie. It becomes a lot longer that way. It usually is very much related to the amount of players in the field. When you have 150 plus the first two rounds, every single major except the Masters, obviously, is going to be longer rounds. It's just what it is. In smaller fields when you have less people, and even in threesomes in small fields, you don't really have that issue. Once they get to the Playoffs or DP World championship or Abu Dhabi, those are not things that become an issue. It's the flow of the game. There's very little you can do to make those rounds a lot shorter. That's just the nature of the game. In LIV, we absolutely fly. I feel like every round is less than four and a half hours unless the weather conditions are crazy. While there's nothing you can do, just try to keep your mind engaged in something else but the game. Just not be thinking: Okay, I have this hole and keep thinking on what you're going to do. Just distract yourself a little bit and basically lock back in when it's time. There's nothing else you can do. Marc Leishman: It felt like we were on the golf course for about 12 hours. We've been on the course for three hours through eight holes. That was tough to deal with. Just everyone takes their time.
