NEW YORK CITY (Tháng bảy 17, 2025) -Undefeated heavyweight prospectPryce Taylor (8-0, 6 Kos) is set to return to the ring on July 26th ở Detroit. After coming off his June 6thknockout win overVà Fountain (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 asMike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, và Shannon Briggs—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 kỷ lục amateur, 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, kể ra 6 stoppages in his 8 diêm, 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, Florida, 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 Kos), người phải đối mặt Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) ở Detroit. Trước, 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 Kos) from Saginaw, Michigan. Two fights prior, Simms defeated previously unbeatenJames McKenzie Morrison(20-1-2, 18 Kos), 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. Tôi đã và đang đào tạo cho 8 vòng, 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 phát biểu. “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 26ththat 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 Kos) and his cousin, pro-debuting middleweightJim Donovan, alongside coach and ex-world championAndy Lee.
WBC #10- and IBF #9-ranked super middleweightVladimir Shishkin (12-0, 7 Kos), as well as undefeated Detroit super welterweightGordie Russ II (3-0, 3 Kos) have been added to the lineup in separate bouts for Salita Promotions’ next “Cuộc cãi vã ở Detroit” event, Thứ bảy, Tháng ba 5, 2022, trong Phòng khiêu vũ Lincoln của Cộng đồng Ford & Trung tâm biểu diễn nghệ thuật trong em yêu, Michigan.
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, Nga, 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 Kos), in a bout scheduled for eight rounds.
“I’m excited to add another adopted Detroiter to the card,” said event promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “Like the legendary Russian Five, who played a big role in bringing a Stanley Cup Championship to ‘America’s Greatest Comeback City’ Detroit. I believe Vladimir’s partnership with Sugarhill will soon result in another world title for the city of Detroit. And as a bonus for local boxing fans, they will get a chance to see another future world champion on this stacked Detroit Brawl card!"
Also training with Steward and added to the Detroit Brawl bill is his cousin, the aforementioned super welterweight Russ II, who will hope to keep his record perfect (Hiện nay 3-0, 3 Kos) against an opponent also TBA over four rounds.
