Undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (25-0, 17 knockouts), is taking no chances against top-rated challenger Winky Wright. Taylor has reportedly added trainer Emanuel Steward to his corner.

Taylor will start training with Steward at the world famous Kronk Gym on May 1. With an already strong corner that consists of Ozell Nelson and Pat Burns, the addition of Steward takes it to an even higher level.

Taylor and Wright meet on June 17 in the main event of an HBO World Championship Boxing telecast.
