Taylor out-battled Regis Prograis in a brutal and brilliant World Boxing Super Series final on Saturday night, taking a majority decision to add Prograis' WBA super-lightweight title to his IBF gold.

"What a fight, all respect to Regis, he's a great champion and was very strong," a jubilant Taylor, who now wants to fight WBO and WBC world champion Ramirez, said afterwards.

"I knew I could get to him. I don't think he expected me to be able to switch it up so easily.

"Let's get it on. Ramirez, where you at? Let's do it!"
