NEW YORK CITY (Julie 17, 2025) - Onoorwonne swaargewigvooruitsigte Pryce Taylor (8-0, 6 Uitklophoue) sal op Julie na die ring terugkeer 26ste in Detroit. Nadat hy van Junie af gekom het 6ste uitklop oorwinning oor En Fountain (14-8), H is daarop gemik om by Brooklyn se elite -swaargewigte in 'n eksklusiewe klub aan te sluit.
'Ek is die volgende groot swaargewig uit Brooklyn,”Taylor verklaar. 'En ek is vandag 'n top Amerikaanse swaargewigvooruitsig.'
Dit is veral uitdagend om hierdie seldsame onderskeid te bereik, Soos Brooklyn wêreldwye kampioene in swaargewig opgelewer het Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, en Shannon Briggs—All lede van 'n spesiale groep in die Premier -afdeling van Boxing. Met die uitsondering van Briggs, Elkeen is opgeneem in die International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Taylor gepos a 60-11 amateur rekord, het twee Golden Gloves -titels in New York gewen, en vier keer as 'n swaargewig naaswenner geëindig by die USA Boxing National Championships. As 'n professionele prysvegter, Die 28-jarige Taylor het baie van sy teenstanders aan die slaap gebring, Net soos sy voorgangers in Brooklyn, insluitend 6 Stoppe in sy 8 wedstryde, die laaste vier agtereenvolgende ry.
“Die Pryce is reg ”het by Brooklyn se polisie geoefen & Kids Boxing Gym met die hoofafrigter Benny Roman. Taylor het ook drie weke in Delray Beach opgelei, Florida, Met afrigter Sugar Hill, fokus op beweging en sparring. 'Dit het beslis gehelp,"het Taylor gesê. 'Daar was goeie sparring daar, En dit was in die algemeen 'n goeie ervaring. ”
Taylor waardeer die blootstelling aan stryd op 'n Salita Promotions -kaart wat deur onoorwonne gekoppel is, onbetwiste swaargewigkampioen Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 Uitklophoue), wat die gesig staar Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) in Detroit. Voorheen, Taylor stop Jerell Nettles In ronde twee op 'n Shields-koplede gebeurtenis.
'Hierdie tyd sal anders wees,”Taylor het daarop gewys. 'My laaste stryd op Claressa se kaart, Ek was in die openingswedstryd, buite-tv, En niemand was daar nie. Ek het 'n goeie sitplek gehad om te kyk hoe sy veg, En ek het haar ontmoet. Maar ek is op die hoofkaart en my stryd sal hierdie keer regstreeks op Dazn gestroom word. ”
In sy eerste geskeduleerde 8-ronde aanval, Taylor sal aangaan Robert Simms (12-4-1, 3 Uitklophoue) Van Saginaw, Michigan. Twee gevegte voor, Simms het voorheen onoorwonne verslaan James McKenzie Morrison (20-1-2, 18 Uitklophoue), Wie is die seun van die laat wêreldkampioen vir swaargewig Tommy Morrison.
'Ek het gehoor dat my teenstander kom veg,”Taylor sluit af. 'Ek hou baie daarvan om so 'n teenstander te veg in plaas van die ouens wat nie staan en veg nie. Ek hou ook daarvan om in hierdie tempo te veg (7 Weke sedert sy laaste geveg) Want ek hou van boks. Ek het oefen vir 8 rondes, Maar dit gaan nie die afstand nie. Ek sien hom nie vier rondes duur nie, As dit. ”
'Ek het Pryce baie besig gehou, want om 'n wonderlike van Brooklyn te word, Jy moet beter wees, talentvol en in staat om daarvoor te werk,”Pryce se bestuurder Keith Sullivan verklaar. 'Hy het in net negentien maande agt gevegte gehad as 'n pro, en drie gevegte het weens teenstanders beserings geval. Dit is 'n ou skooltempo waaraan ek hom aanhou. Nie elke vegter kan daardie tempo van gevegte hanteer nie, Pryce eet dit op. Hy kan die boonste Echelon bereik. Dit sal voortgesette harde werk verg.
'Die laaste keer dat hy op Clarissa se kaart geveg het, Ons het in 'n leë arena ingestap. Ek het in hom geleun en gesê, ‘Geniet die stilte, Binnekort sal u 'n aaklige arena aangaan. 'En op Julie 26ste dit sal waar word. ”
Sullivan, 'N Voormalige adjunkkommissaris van die atletiekkommissie in New York State, bestuur ook 3-keer, 2-Afdeling wêreldkampioen Miyo se ouderdom (18-5) en Bronx NYPD -beampte Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO).
