    Jermain Taylor released from jail

    Former IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor was reportedly released from jail in Little Rock, Arkansas after posting a $25,000 bond. Taylor was arrested last night for allegedly shooting his cousin.

    Taylor, 36, was given permission by the judge to travel to Florida to train for his upcoming October 8th title shot against IBF middleweight champion Sam Soliman. Taylor was charged with two felonies, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. He charged with first degree domestic battery, as well as aggravated assault.

    Taylor’s cousin was shot multiple time. His current condition is serious.

    At this time it’s unclear what caused the shooting. That part is still being investigated by the police.
