RAGING Josh Taylor has threatened to batter anyone who gives his new wife hassle.
The boxing champ watched in horror as missus Danielle was sent abuse and death threats following his controversial win over Jack Catterall.
Josh Taylor has issued a stern warning to anyone considering giving wife Danielle abuse
Taylor, from Prestonpans, East Lothian, admitted that he won’t be shy at using his in-ring skills to come to her rescue in future.
He said: “If I saw people saying things like that to my family in person they would get a sore face. They would be getting a sore one.
“I’m a man at the end of the day and that’s my wife you’re talking about and talking to.”
Taylor, 31, told how he accepts he might get criticised over making his own threats. But he reckons other husbands who are not boxers would also be unhappy.
He said: “It might sound terrible and it might sound violent.
“But any man in the street who came up and spoke to a man’s wife like that, they wouldn’t get away with it.
“Nobody would take it. Nobody would put up with that stuff.”
Taylor recently tied the knot with Danielle, 29, at Kinmount House in Dumfries and Galloway.
They spent three days with their closest pals and family, including ex-world champ Carl Frampton.
Taylor said: “It was just perfect. We had the weather too, which is unusual in bonnie Scotland. It was a really good weekend.
“My new wife is just the happiest woman alive. It was a great weekend.”
The pair had planned to go away on honeymoon but that’s been abandoned.
Talking on the 5 Live Boxing podcast, Taylor revealed his US promoters are trying to get him back in the ring soon so he wants to get ready.
He said: “We were going to get away. Top Rank have said maybe a fight in September.
“I said we’ll just put it on the backburner. Back to business.”
Fight fans blasted Taylor for his performance against Jack Catterall in February.
