Josh Taylor vs. Miguel Vázquez

About This Movie

In 2017, the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh hosted a pretty intense match-up between Josh Taylor and Miguel Vázquez. Taylor, still fresh and hungry with a perfect record, takes on the seasoned Vázquez, a former world champion with a solid background. The atmosphere is electric, capturing that gritty essence of boxing where every punch thrown feels heavy with meaning. The pacing keeps you on edge, as the fight unfolds with moments of strategic brilliance and raw power. It’s an interesting study in contrasts—the young lion versus the experienced veteran—and you can feel the tension throughout. Practical effects, like the sweat and the sound of gloves colliding, add to the realism, making it more than just another fight film.

The fight was not widely released on various formats, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. There's interest particularly in footage of Taylor's early career that showcases his development as a fighter. Scarcity is a factor for those looking to have this bout in their collection, especially given Taylor's rise in the boxing world since this match.
