| (এল-আর) – Claressa Shields & Pryce Taylor নিউ ইয়র্ক শহর (জুলাই 17, 2025) - Undefeated heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (8-0, 6 কস) is set to return to the ring on July 26ম ডেট্রয়েটে. After coming off his June 6ম knockout win over এবং ঝরনা (14-8), h is aiming to join Brooklyn’s elite heavyweights in an exclusive club. “I’m the next great heavyweight out of Brooklyn,” Taylor proclaimed. “And I’m a top American heavyweight prospect today.” Achieving this rare distinction is notably challenging, as Brooklyn has produced world heavyweight champions such as মাইক Tyson, Riddick Bowe, ফ্লয়েড প্যাটারসন, মাইকেল Moorer, এবং শ্যানন ব্রিগস—all members of a special group within boxing’s premier division. With the exception of Briggs, each has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Taylor posted a 60-11 অপেশাদার রেকর্ড, won two New York Golden Gloves titles, and finished as heavyweight runner-up four times at the USA Boxing National Championships. As a professional prize fighter, the 28-year-old Taylor has put many of his opponents to sleep, much like his Brooklyn predecessors, সেই সঙ্গে 6 stoppages in his 8 ম্যাচ, the last four in a row. “The Pryce is Right” has been training at Brooklyn’s Cops & Kids Boxing Gym with head trainer Benny Roman. Taylor also trained for three weeks in Delray Beach, ফ্লোরিদা, with trainer Sugar Hill, focusing on movement and sparring. “It definitely helped,” Taylor said. “There was good sparring there, and it was a good experience overall.” |
 Taylor values the exposure from fighting on a Salita Promotions card headlined by unbeaten, undisputed heavyweight champion Claressa ঢাল (16-0, 3 কস), যারা সম্মুখীন Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 কো) ডেট্রয়েটে. পূর্বে, Taylor stopped Jerell Nettles in round two on a Shields-headlined event. “This time will be different,” Taylor pointed out. “My last fight on Claressa’s card, I was in the opening bout, off-TV, and nobody was there. I had a good seat to watch her fight, and I met her. But I’m on the main card and my fight will be streamed live on DAZN this time.” In his first scheduled 8-round bout, Taylor will take on Robert Simms (12-4-1, 3 কস) Saginaw, থেকে, মিশিগান. Two fights prior, Simms defeated previously unbeaten James McKenzie Morrison (20-1-2, 18 কস), who is the son of the late world heavyweight champion টমি মরিসন. “I’ve heard my opponent comes to fight,” Taylor concluded. “I really like fighting an opponent like that instead of the guys who don’t stand and fight. I also like fighting at this pace (7 weeks since his last fight) because I love boxing. I’ve been training for 8 চক্রের, but it’s not going the distance. I don’t see him lasting four rounds, if that.” “I’ve kept Pryce very busy because to become a great from Brooklyn, you better be tough, talented and able to work for it,” Pryce’s manager Keith Sullivan বিবৃত. “He has had eight fights in just nineteen months as a pro, and three fights fell out due to opponent injuries. That’s an old-school pace I am keeping him on. Not every fighter can handle that rate of fighting, Pryce eats it up. He can reach the upper echelon. It will take continued hard work. “The last time he fought on Clarissa’s card, we walked into an empty arena. I leaned into him and said, ‘Enjoy the silence, soon enough you will be entering into jeering packed arenas.’ And on July 26ম that will come true.” Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 কো). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 কস) and his cousin, pro-debuting middleweight Jim Donovan, alongside coach and ex-world champion অ্যান্ডি লি. |
