Pryce is Right again for undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor

NEW YORK CITY (Juni 11, 2025) – Immediately after last Friday night’s impressive fourth-round stoppage of Ed “Tex” Fountain, Brooklyn’s undefeated Pryce Taylor (8-0, 5 KOS) was called America’s best heavyweight prospect by his promoter, Dmitriy Salita (Salita Kampagner).

The 28-year-old Taylor and his manager, New York City-based Attorney Keith Sullivan, agree with Salita.

“They’re (Salita and Sullivan) both right," sagde Taylor, “because they’ve seen me fight. Fighting brings the dog out in me. Han (Springvand) was a test, real resilient, but like a punching bag that’s ready to fall off the chain. I had to keep hitting him and no way was he thinking about playing it safe. The referee saved his life; he was thinking about not falling down.”

The powerful Taylor entered the ring paying tribute to the late, great George Foreman by wearing a “Big George” T-shirt. Prior to the fight, Taylor noted that he had great success in the pro ranks fighting southpaws like Fountain. Taylor methodically ripped his opponent’s head and body with damaging punches, hurting Fountain in the third round with a straight right-left hook combination, followed by a barrage of shots on the sturdy Fountain who managed to survive the round.
(L-R: Head trainer Benny Roman, Pryce Taylor wearing his George Foreman tribute T-shirt, and manager Keith Sullivan)

Springvand (14-9, 7 KOS), who was the best fighter the 6’ 4”, 280-pound Taylor had fought in the pro ranks, was rocked from another series of violent combinations, when referee Charlie Fitch had seen enough and waved off the fight 36-seconds into the fourth frame.The fight was a scheduled 6-rounder on the “International Boxing Hall of Fame Night,” presented by Taylor’s promoter Salita Promotions, på Turning Stone Resort Casino i Verona, New York.

“I was excited to be fighting on a show like that,” Taylor added. “He hit me first in the first round, something I always let my opponents do to test their power, gauge patterns, and figure him out. It’s like in baseball when a batter lets a pitch go by without swinging to see what he has on the mound. Because he’s a southpaw, his right is his jab, and he really wanted to use his left power hook. He had a good poker face, but he couldn’t hide it when I hurt him. He tried not showing he was fazed, keeping himself upright, but he felt my power. I like being accurate, especially throwing power punches. I punished him at the end, throwing a body shot, an uppercut, and then two right hooks.

“I thought George Foreman would have been proud of me and maybe thought he was seeing himself fight when he saw me punch. I put on a show. I’m a combination of Foreman and Muhammad Ali; power punching like Foreman, elusive like Ali with good footwork and light on my toes.

“I’m not sure if this was the best fight of my career, but he was my best opponent and the toughest guy I’ve fought. He came into the ring in good shape and tried to fight. His downfall was Pryce Being Right igen. I love throwing my straight right and that keeps opening up my left hook to the body.”

Taylor had a 60-11 amatør rekord, including a pair of New York Golden Gloves titles, and he was the heavyweight runner-up four times in the prestigious USA Boxing National Championship tournaments. “Pryce’s TKO win was exactly what I expected – dominant, calculated, and explosive,” Sullivan remarked. “He’s not just another prospect; with continued work, he can be the next great American heavyweight. With every fight, he’s proving that he has the tools, the discipline, and the mindset to be a force within this division. We’re building something special, and the world’s about to see it.”
Team Taylor (L-R): Manager Keith Sullivan, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor, promoter Dmitriy Salita, and head trainer Benny Roman Salita.

Taylor will be fighting next in his first scheduled 8-round bout on July 26 in Detroit on a Salita Promotions card headlined by undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 KOS) versus Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) på Little Caesars Arena. Sullivan, a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, administrerer også 3-gang, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD Officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO), as well as co-managing world-rated (IBF #3 & WBA #10) welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 KOS), from Limerick, Irland. Sullivan styrer Donovan sammen med den tidligere verdensmester i mellemvægt Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

Dmitriy Salita - Præsident for Salita Promotions

"Det er en ære at promovere dette års International Boxing Hall of Fame-begivenhed - et kort, der virkelig afspejler sportens fulde spektrum, med mestre, topudfordrer, stigende udsigter, og fremtidige Hall of Famers som Franchón Crews, en sand pioner inden for kvindeboksning."

"Jeg er vokset op i denne sport. Boksning er ikke kun mit erhverv, det er min passion. Jeg nærmer mig enhver begivenhed og matchup med en fans entusiasme og en boksers passion. Efter at have været en fighter, der er underskrevet nogle af de største kampagner og nu arbejdet som promoter i over et årti, Jeg har fået et unikt perspektiv. Jeg tror på den oplevelse, parret med en dyb kærlighed til spillet, giver mig værktøjerne til at hjælpe med at løfte sporten på nye og meningsfulde måder."

»Vi er midt i en spændende overgang inden for boksning, og innovation er nøglen. Det er derfor, vi prøver nye ting – som at samarbejde med ALL THE SMOKE – for at bringe fans tættere på historierne, personligheder, og rejser, der definerer boksning. Vores vision er at være inkluderende, samarbejdende, og at dyrke sporten for fansene og give de bedste muligheder til de kæmpere, vi fremmer."

Brandon Moore – USBA Amerikansk sværvægts titelliste

"Dette er en kæmpe mulighed. Jeg har trænet til dette siden februar. Ikke at jeg vidste, at dette ville komme, men jeg vidste, at en mulighed af enhver art ville dukke op. Jeg ved, at denne begivenhed bliver stor, og der vil være masser af legender der, så jeg planlægger at se skarp ud og klar til at tage imod Stanley Wright. Han havde lige haft en sur sejr mod Jeremiah Milton, så jeg tager ham meget seriøst. Wright er en ubesejret fighter, så jeg er nødt til at give ham hans første L."

"Jeg er selv en sværvægter af større størrelse, og jeg har kæmpet med større sværvægtere før. Wright vil bare være endnu en fyr i totempælen. Jeg skal bare flytte mine fødder, slog ham med det stik, og ser godt ud at gøre det. Han kommer for at slå hårdt, så jeg ved, hvad han kommer for at gøre. Jeg skal bare holde fokus, holde min hage nede, og bliv ved med at slå ham med det stik."

"Juni 6 Jeg kommer ekstremt skarpt ind. Selvfølgelig vil jeg have knockouten, Jeg vil det dårligt. Men det handler om at være skarp og få sejren. Jeg vil altid have knockout, men hovedfokus er at forblive smart. Hvis jeg gør det, knockoutene kommer. De kommer altid."

Franchón Crews-Dezurn – WBC og WBA Unified Super Mellemvægt verdensmester

"Jeg er fra bunden, så jeg er ikke fremmed for hårdt arbejde og at arbejde for det, jeg vil. Der kom en mulighed for at arbejde med Salita Promotions, og det gav mening. Som du kan se, kvindeboksning kommer i højsædet, og der er nu mange kvinder, der får gode muligheder. Mig selv som pioner, selvfølgelig ville jeg ind i den blanding. Salita har lige skrevet kontrakt med yderligere to mellemvægtere, så der er ingen mangel på kampe for mig her."

"Boksing er min scene. Min første kærlighed før boksning var musik. Sådan som universet havde det, boksning blev min scene og platform. Men det hele virker sammen. Jeg er en skaber. Jeg udtrykker mig selv gennem musik, boksning, og mode. Da jeg fik min professionelle debut mod Claressa Shields, Jeg gik ud til min originale musik og mit originale outfit."

"Boksing er livet. Jeg tager det meget seriøst, fordi jeg er old school. Jeg er gammel nok til at vide det, ung nok til at lære. Jeg spiller ikke, fordi du kan miste dit liv i boksning. Jeg presser mig igennem en masse ting for at få mest muligt ud af denne mulighed."

Joshua James Pagan – ubesejret letvægtsudsigt

"Der er mange fantastiske kæmpere derude i eller omkring min division. Der er et par jagerfly på min radar, herunder Giovanni Marquez. Han er meget dygtig, sej og holdbar. Floyd Schofield er en anden fighter, jeg har på min radar. Jeg vil kæmpe mod dem alle."

"Det er en velsignelse at kæmpe på dette kort. Jeg voksede op med at se Manny Pacquiao og Michael Nunn. Der er mange store navne, der bliver optaget i Hall of Fame. Jeg er spændt på at vise mine færdigheder og forhåbentlig være i deres position en dag og nå frem til Hall of Fame."

"Alle burde forvente en fantastisk præstation fra mig næste fredag. Jeg har været fokuseret og haft en fantastisk træningslejr i Puerto Rico. Jeg er klar til at bruge det hele den 6. juni."

"Jeg er fokuseret på min kamp lige nu mod James Bernadin. Jeg kan ikke overse ham. Efter denne kamp, Jeg vil tale med mit hold for at se, hvad der er det næste."

DETROIT (April 24, 2025) – Salita Promotions today announced the signing of reigning IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) and WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Che Kenneally (5-0, 2 KOS) as the latest additions to an elite group of female boxers on the roster. Joining the most decorated female fighter of all time, and one of the most decorated male or female fighters in history, Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion Claressa Shields, and newly signed Unified Super Middleweight World Champion Franchón Crews-Dezurn, Salita Promotions continues to build the strongest women’s roster in boxing.

“We are deeply committed to advancing equality in boxing by creating real opportunities for women to compete, succeed, and inspire on the world stage,"Sagde Dmitriy Salita, Præsident for Salita Promotions. “Signing elite champions like Lani Daniels and Che Kenneally reflects our belief that women’s boxing deserves the same investment, visibility, and respect as the men’s game. We are proud to support their journey and help shape a future where talent and determination define success.”

Coined “The Smiling Assassin,” Daniels began her professional boxing career in 2017. Securing the ANBF Australasian Heavyweight title in 2023, Daniels earned a world title opportunity against Alrie Meleisea that same year for the IBF Heavyweight World title and won. After defending the belt once against South Africa’s Razel Mohammed, Daniels challenged for the IBF Light Heavyweight title against Desley Robinson. Winning the title bout via majority decision, Daniels made history by becoming the first New Zealand born fighter to win two world titles, as well as win two world titles in different weight divisions. Currently on the strength of seven-straight victories, Daniels has proven to be a fighter inside and outside of the ring. At 14-years-old, Daniels tragically lost her younger brother to leukemia, sending her down a troubled path with drugs and suicidal thoughts. Championing the importance of mental health, Daniels has become an inspiration for her home country as she continues to set records.

Following a masterclass performance in front of her hometown of the Gold Coast to win the vacant WBA Light Heavyweight title, the 6’0” tall Kenneally, 30, continues to shine and now joins Salita Promotions’ impressive slate of women’s champions.

Også annonceret i dag, making his anticipated professional debut is Puerto Rico’sYandiel Lozano and Salita Promotions promising heavyweight prospectPryce Taylor (6-0, 4 KOS) fra Brooklyn, N.Y..

Returning to Puerto Rico for the second time in five months, Salita Promotions has continued to explore the rich boxing talent residing on the island, much like the company has done the past two years in the state of Michigan. With a proven track record of discovering talent throughout the greater Detroit and Flint, Mich., region, Salita Promotions præsidentDmitriy Salitacontinues to give up-and-coming and rising talent a global platform to perform.

“We provided a path and platform for many fighters to earn recognition and achieve their dreams,”Sagde Dmitriy Salita. “From solidified world champions like Claressa Shields to budding stars like Ardreal Holmes Jr., Salita Promotions continues to mine for the next super stars of boxing throughout Michigan and now we are doing the same in Puerto Rico. Stars from the Caribbean Island such asMiguel CottoFélix Trinidad, ogJuan ‘John John’ Molina have all paved the way for the prospects we will be showcasing on March 1.”

The co-main event will see the WBO NABO Jr. Welterweight Title on the line as Santiago, who hails from the Dominican Republic, meets fellow countrymanJavier Fortuna(39-5, 28 KOS). Santiago, 30, returns to the ring on the heels of a statement first-round TKO victory over Mexico’s Pedro Campa in November 2024. Currently on the strength of three straight victories, Santiago captured the WBO NABO Jr. Welterweight Title last June when he defeated Angel Fierro via unanimous decision, and on March 1, Santiago will attempt to defend his title for the third time. Starting his impressive career off with an undefeated record of 12-0, Santiago earned a shot against former Undisputed Lightweight World Champion Devin Haney for the WBC Lightweight World Championship in November 2019. While coming up short, Santiago has proven that he belongs in the upper echelon of the Jr. Welterweight Division.

This is a great opportunity to showcase the level I am at,” said Santiago. “I have worked hard, I’m in my best shape, and on March 1 i Fajardo, I’m going to give it my all in the ring. I respect Javier Fortuna, but he will find out that he’s facing a true warrior. I’m ready for any version of him that shows up in front of my people in Fajardo. I’m going to go to war and take the victory.

Entering his second bout in just over two months, the 35-year-old Fortuna will compete in Puerto Rico for the first time. Like his opponent, Fortuna is coming off an impressive TKO victory defeating Jonatan Mariano in December 2024. Boasting a staggering 28 knockouts til sit navn, Fortuna held the WBC Continental Americas Lightweight Title in 2019 and challenged former IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Joseph Diaz in 2021 for the WBC Interim Lightweight World Title.

Desuden, undefeated Nestor Bravoand South Africa’sXolisani Ndongeni(32-6, 19 KOS) will collide for the vacant WBA Intercontinental Jr. Welterweight Title. Hailing from Arecibo, P.R., Bravo will return to action after nearly a year away from the ring. I hans sidste udflugt, Bravo scored a second-round knockout victory over Carlos Manuel Portillo. Following a decorated amateur career with numerous national and international tournament wins, Bravo turned professional in 2015 when he defeated Nestor Ortiz via knockout. Previously holding the WBC Latino Lightweight Title and the WBO NABO Super Lightweight Title, Bravo pursues another belt when he faces his toughest test to date in Ndongeni.

Recently challenging for the vacant WBO Latino Lightweight Title, Ndongeni looks to insert himself back into the win column against Bravo. A tenured competitor, Ndongeni has held the WBF International Featherweight Title, IBO International Lightweight Title, and WBF Lightweight Title. With ample experience against undefeated prospects, Ndongeni aims to give the rising Bravo his first defeat.

Kicking off the night live on DAZN and in a quick turnaround, Brooklyn, N.Y.’s Pryce Taylor returns to action against Arizona’sTrevor Kotara(4-3-1, 1 KO) following his second-round knockout victory over Jerell Nettles on February 2. A promising heavyweight prospect, Taylor signed with Salita Promotions in November 2024, and has since gone 2-0 under the banner, both victories coming by way of knockout. Standing at 6-foot-4, Taylor is a former collegiate basketball player and has won two New York Golden Gloves title.

Til sidst, Puerto Rico’s own Yandiel Lozano will make his much-anticipated professional debut. The silver medalist at the World Youth Championships, a four-time champion of the Bert Sugar Tournament, Florida Junior Silver Gloves champion, and two-time Puerto Rican National Champion, Lozano steps into the star-studded featherweight division after a solid amateur career.

“Fajardo is filled with pride as it welcomes home two of its greatest warriors of the ring,” said José Aníbal Meléndez, Mayor Autonomous Municipality of Fajardo. “Subriel Matías, born and raised in our town, returns to the ring to once again prove why he is one of the most outstanding figures in world boxing. Alongside him, another great champion from Fajardo, Alfredo ‘Ojo’ Santiago, will be defending his title, proudly representing our city. For Fajardo, this event is not just a sporting spectacle but a celebration of the determination, disciplin, and talent that define our athletes.”
