Efter at have kommet fra hans juni 6th Knockout sejr over Og Fountain (14-8), H sigter mod at slutte sig til Brooklyn's Elite Heavyweights i en eksklusiv klub.
”Jeg er den næste store tungvægt ud af Brooklyn,”Taylor proklamerede. "Og jeg er en top amerikansk tungvægt udsigt i dag."
At opnå denne sjældne sondring er især udfordrende, Som Brooklyn har produceret verdens tungvægtmestre som f.eks. Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, og Shannon Briggs—Alle medlemmer af en speciel gruppe inden for Boxing's Premier Division. Med undtagelse af Briggs, Hver er blevet indført i International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Som en professionel prisfighter, Den 28-årige Taylor har sat mange af sine modstandere i søvn, Ligesom hans Brooklyn -forgængere, Herunder 6 stop i hans 8 tændstikker, De sidste fire i træk.
“Pryce har ret ”har trænet i Brooklyn's politiet & Børn bokse gymnastiksal med hovedtræner Benny Roman. Taylor træner også i tre uger i Delray Beach, Florida, med træner Sugar Hill, Fokus på bevægelse og sparring. ”Det hjalp bestemt," sagde Taylor. ”Der var god sparring der, Og det var generelt en god oplevelse. ”
Taylor værdsætter eksponeringen fra at kæmpe på et Salita -kampagner kort overskrevet af ubesejret, Ubestridt tungvægtmester Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 KOS), der står over Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) i Detroit. Tidligere, Taylor stoppede Jerell Nettles I runde to på en Shields-headlined begivenhed.
”Denne gang vil være anderledes,”Taylor påpegede. ”Min sidste kamp på Claressas kort, Jeg var i åbningskampen, Off-TV, Og ingen var der. Jeg havde en god plads til at se hende kæmpe, Og jeg mødte hende. Men jeg er på hovedkortet, og min kamp vil blive streamet live på Dazn denne gang. ”
I sin første planlagte 8-runde kamp, Taylor tager på Robert Simms (12-4-1, 3 KOS) fra Saginaw, Michigan. To kampe før, Simms besejrede tidligere ubesejret James McKenzie Morrison (20-1-2, 18 KOS), Hvem er søn af den afdøde verdens tungvægtmester Tommy Morrison.
”Jeg har hørt min modstander komme til at kæmpe,”Konkluderede Taylor. ”Jeg kan virkelig godt lide at kæmpe mod en sådan modstander i stedet for de fyre, der ikke står og kæmper. Jeg kan også godt lide at kæmpe i dette tempo (7 Uger siden hans sidste kamp) Fordi jeg elsker boksning. Jeg har trænet til 8 runder, Men det går ikke afstanden. Jeg ser ham ikke vare fire runder, Hvis det. ”
”Jeg har holdt Pryce meget travlt, for at blive en stor fra Brooklyn, Du må hellere være hård, talentfuld og i stand til at arbejde for det,”Pryces manager Keith Sullivan angivet. ”Han har haft otte kampe på kun nitten måneder som en professionel, Og tre kampe faldt ud på grund af modstanderskader. Det er et old-school tempo, jeg holder ham på. Ikke enhver fighter kan håndtere denne kamphastighed, Pryce spiser det op. Han kan nå den øverste led. Det vil tage fortsat hårdt arbejde.
”Sidste gang han kæmpede på Clarissas kort, Vi gik ind på en tom arena. Jeg lænede mig ind i ham og sagde, ‘Nyd stilheden, Snart nok går du ind i jævla pakket arenaer. 'Og i juli 26th Det vil gå i opfyldelse. ”
Sullivan, En tidligere atletisk kommissær i New York State atletiske kommissær, administrerer også 3-gang, 2-Division verdensmester Miyo Yoshida (18-5) og Bronx NYPD -officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO).
