Josh Taylor still has ambitions to become a two-time world champion as he enters the “final chapter” of his career.<\/b><\/p>\n

The former undisputed light-welterweight world champion is coming off back-to-back defeats to Teofimo Lopez and Jack Catterall.<\/p>\n

But the Scot, now a free agent after the expiry of his contract with promotor Bob Arum\u2019s Top Rank, insists he still has big fights to come.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to fish the market and seeing what promoters are out there and what fights are for me,” the 33-year-old told BBC Sport Scotland on a visit to his former school, Preston Lodge High.<\/p>\n

“There’s plenty options out there for me now. I’m free to do as I please and it opens up a lot more options, so it’s an exciting period.”<\/p>\n

Taylor took time off following May’s loss to Catterall<\/a> and says he would relish a third bout with the Chorley fighter to settle their long-standing rivalry.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to sort of right that decision and fight him again,” said Taylor, who defeated the Englishman in their controversial first encounter in Glasgow in 2022.<\/p>\n

“But if not, I’m in a great place now to get a comeback fight. It would be nice to get back to winning ways, then get back to chasing titles and become a two-time world champion, which is still a big goal of mine.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
