Taylor withdraws from Super Series • Former champion has lost four of his last five fights• Super-middleweight hopes to return to boxing in futureJermain Taylor has withdrawn from Showtime's Super Series while he "takes some time off" to consider his future in boxing.No replacement has yet been announced for the series, which features six of the best super-middleweights in the world, including Nottingham's unbeaten WBC champion, Carl Froch.Taylor, the former undisputed world middleweight champion, was badly knocked out in the 12th and final round of his first Super Series bout, against Arthur Abraham in Berlin on 17 October.Froch, who recorded a close points win over the previously unbeaten Andre Dirrell on the same night in his home town, had also beaten Taylor in the final round, when he defended his WBC title against him last April.Froch is scheduled to fight the Dane Mikkel Kessler in Denmark on 17 April. Kessler lost to the American Andre Ward in his first Super Series fight."I'm going to take some time off from the sport of boxing," Taylor said in a prepared statement, "and take myself out of [the] Showtime tournament. It's important that I give my body and mind some much-needed rest, because I have been boxing for nearly 20 years. I plan on keeping myself in shape and making a return to the sport sometime in the future."This was not an easy decision for me, having discussed it with my family, trainer, friends and my adviser Al Haymon, because I'm a very competitive person – but I know this is the smart road for me to take."Taylor, 31, won bronze at light-middleweight at the Sydney Olympics, and won 28 of 33 paid contests, but was stopped three times in four losses from five fights over the past two years.BoxingCarl FrochKevin Mitchellguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
