Former Kiwi Test forward Elijah Taylor is fuming over a phony video that has gone viral on YouTube, purporting to show him punching and threatening to stab his former manager, who fleeced him of more than $350,000.<\/p>\n

Wide World of Sports broke the story recently of ex-Wests Tigers forward Taylor taking his ex-manager Ian Miles to a civil court in Christchurch and winning the case<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was awarded $484,824 in damages and costs, with the story causing outrage in league circles.<\/p>\n

Even more tragically, Taylor is unlikely to see a penny of it, as Miles has declared himself bankrupt.<\/p>\n

A video emerged on YouTube today, labelled 'Wests Tigers' Elijah Taylor confronting his Manager Ian Miles'<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In it, a man driving a car, claiming to be Taylor, slaps and punches a man purported to be Miles, who is sitting in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n

He also threatens to stab the man purported to be Miles.<\/p>\n

"I couldn't believe it when I saw it," Taylor told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

"It's not him and it's not me; I would never stab someone.<\/p>\n

"I am going to have to contact YouTube and try to get it taken down; I don't want people thinking I am like that.<\/p>\n

"I am angry and hurt at Miles for what he did, but I would not ever take that sort of action."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
