“Esta vez será diferente,Sinalou Taylor. "A miña última loita na tarxeta de Claressa, Estiven no combate de apertura, fóra de TV, E ninguén estaba alí. Tiven un bo asento para vela pelexar, e coñecína. Pero estou na tarxeta principal e a miña loita será transmitida en directo en Dazn nesta ocasión. "

Estou adestrando para 8 rounds, Pero non vai a distancia. Non o vexo de duración de catro roldas, Se é iso. "
"Mantiven a Pryce moi ocupada porque converterme nun xenial de Brooklyn, É mellor ser duro, talentoso e capaz de traballar por iso,”Xestor de Pryce Keith Sullivan establecido. "Tivo oito pelexas en só dezanove meses como profesional, e tres pelexas caeron por lesións do rival. Ese é un ritmo da vella escola que o estou mantendo. Non todos os loitadores poden xestionar esa taxa de loita, Pryce comeo. Pode chegar ao echelon superior. Levará un traballo duro continuo.
"A última vez que loitou na tarxeta de Clarissa, Entramos nunha area baleira. Eu inclinábame nel e dixen, "Goza do silencio, Pronto estarás entrando en arenas embaladas. "E en xullo 26th Iso farase realidade ".
