Josh Taylor and Tom Stalker Will Resist The Pro Call

Team GB boxers Josh Taylor and Tom Stalker will resist the temptation to turn professional straight after the Olympic Games this summer, according to interviews with BBC Sport. Edinburgh lightweight Taylor, 21, wants to compete for Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

"I've got no intentions to go pro," said Taylor. "I want to go to the home Commonwealths. I love the game I'm in. I want to stay amateur, go and see more of the world, and I also don't have to put my hand in my pocket."

The Prestonpans fighter will be hoping to go one better at Glasgow 2014, having been defeated by England's Stalker in the lightweight final in Delhi two years ago. GB captain Stalker, 27, has since moved up to light welterweight and won bronze at the World Amateur Championships in 2011. The Liverpudlian also said he was content to stay amateur and revealed how he planned to keep his feet on the ground after the Olympics.
