نیو یارک شہر (جولائی 17, 2025) -Undefeated heavyweight prospectPryce Taylor (8-0, 6 کوس) is set to return to the ring on July 26ویں ڈیٹرائٹ میں. After coming off his June 6ویںknockout win overاور فاؤنٹین (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 asمائک ٹایچون, Riddick Bowe شو, Floyd میں پیٹرسن, مائیکل Moorer, اور شینن برگز—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 شوکیا ریکارڈ, 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, شامل 6 اس میں 8 میچ, 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, فلوریڈا, 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 championClaressa Shields (16-0, 3 کوس), جو کا سامنا Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) ڈیٹرائٹ میں. پہلے, Taylor stoppedJerell Nettlesin 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 onRobert Simms (12-4-1, 3 کوس) from Saginaw, مشی گن. Two fights prior, Simms defeated previously unbeatenJames McKenzie Morrison(20-1-2, 18 کوس), who is the son of the late world heavyweight championTommy Morrison.
“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 راؤنڈ, 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 managerKeith Sullivan بیان کیا گیا ہے. “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 26ویںthat will come true.”
Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World ChampionMiyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD officerNisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challengerPaddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 کوس) and his cousin, pro-debuting middleweightJim Donovan, alongside coach and ex-world championاینڈی لی.
WBC #10- and IBF #9-ranked super middleweightVladimir Shishkin (12-0, 7 کوس), as well as undefeated Detroit super welterweightGordie Russ II (3-0, 3 کوس) have been added to the lineup in separate bouts for Salita Promotions’ next “Detroit Brawl” event, ہفتے کے روز, مارچ 5, 2022, میں Lincoln BallroomکےFord Community & Performing Arts CenterمیںDearborn, مشی گن.
Waiting out the pandemic for an inevitable high-profile match-up against a champion or highly rated contender, former amateur star Shishkin, originally from Stepnoe, روس, is now living and training at the Kronk Gym in Detroit with super trainer Javan “SugarHill” Steward. The talented Russian will look to stay sharp against Ecuadorian trialhorse Jeyson “Verdugo” Minda (14-6-1, 8 کوس), in a bout scheduled for eight rounds.
“I’m excited to add another adopted Detroiter to the card,” said event promoter, dmitriy کی Salita. “Like the legendary Russian Five, who played a big role in bringing a Stanley Cup Championship to ‘America’s Greatest Comeback City’ Detroit.
