SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO (July 11, 2026) – American heavyweight Pryce Taylor kept his undefeated record intact with a near-shutout 10-round unanimous decision victory over Mexican challenger Issac Muñoz on Saturday in the debut Wynn Records Network event from Coliseíto Pedrín Zorrilla in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The five-fight broadcast was promoted by Universal Promotions and Salita Promotions in association with Wynn Records and was the first in a long-term partnership between Salita and Wynn that will develop and test some of boxing’s most promising prospects and contenders.

Taylor (13-0, 8 KOs) controlled the fight from the outset and landed the harder shots throughout the bout.  The 6-foot-4 fighter from Brooklyn, N.Y., leaned on his height and reach advantage to dictate the pace and frustrate the veteran Munoz (18-3-1, 15 KOs), whose only previous losses came against top American heavyweights Jermain Franklin Jr. and Richard Torrez Jr. 

Taylor, who showboated throughout the bout, seemingly scored a knockdown in the closing seconds of the sixth with a sweeping overhand left, however referee Roberto Ramirez did not recognize the knockdown. 

The bout was scored 98-92, 98-92, 97-93.

“The fight would have went differently if they called the knockdown,” Taylor said.  “If you’re being supported by the ropes that’s a knockdown. If it was called, it would have made him want to fight harder so he could win. It changed the momentum of the fight..

“I want all the fighters.  Efe (Ajagba) , I see you on the bench.  Come off the bench and fight me.  Kingsley (Ibeh), I’m going to take you out.  All the fighters, Daniel DuBois, Anthony Joshua, I want the smoke.”

In a special featured attraction, undefeated Puerto Rican women’s boxing sensation Kiria Tapia (10-0, 1 KOs) put on a show for her hometown fans, winning a thrilling unanimous decision over Alba Sanchez, scored 80-72 by all three judges. 

The fight was a slugfest at times, with both fighters landing massive shots.  Sanchez (9-5) displayed a tremendous chin and the fight looked like it could have been stopped at multiple times over the eight rounds. 

“I’m very happy for the support from Puerto Rico,” Tapia said.  “I was looking to see if I could get the right punch for a knockout.  It didn’t happen but I was looking for the knockout. I’m very supportive of Amanda Serrano and everything she’s done for women’s boxing. Maybe we’ll fight in the future.”

The events on the recently launched Wynn Records Network are designed to develop and test some of boxing’s most promising prospects and contenders, giving fans a first look at the future generation of stars as they take on meaningful step-up fights.  

“It was an incredible night of boxing in San Juan, Puerto Rico,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions.  “From the opening bell of the first fight to the final round of the main event, the fans were treated to competitive, action-packed matchups. Johanna Wonyou earned a hard-fought victory, while Litzy Vázquez captured the world title with a thrilling majority-decision win. Heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor showed another side of his game by going the full 10 rounds for the first time in his career in a competitive battle, and hometown favorite Kiria Tapia electrified both the crowd in San Juan and fans watching around the world on Wynn Records Network. This event reflected exactly what Salita Promotions is committed to delivering—meaningful fights, rising stars, and unforgettable nights of boxing.  We can’t wait to come back to work with Universal Promotions and Wynn Records and continue to grow boxing in Puerto Rico.”

Ruben Branson, CEO of Wynn Records, agreed: “I want to give it up to the fans here in Puerto Rico – the energy was high all night. I’m excited for this partnership with Salita Promotions and Universal Promotions as we expand Wynn Records with the roll out of Wynn Network, bringing entertainment to the next level with cultural influence. This is just the first fight. We will be back.”

In Saturday’s co-featured bout, undefeated challenger Litzy Vazquez dethroned defending champion Edith Soledad Matthysse to capture the Women’s WBA Interim Super Lightweight Title via majority decision (95-95, 98-92 twice) in a competitive and back-and-forth fight. 

Matthysse (21-17-1, 4 KOs) came forward in her typical aggressive fashion, but Vazquez fought well off her back foot and pocketed the first three rounds on all three judges’ scorecards.  The 24-year-old Mexican Vazquez (9-0, 6 KOs) displayed superior movement and utilized her reach advantage over the 45-year-old Matthysse.

The championship rounds in the ninth and 10th had the best action, with Vazquez struggling to contain the hard-charging Matthysse.  Both fighters traded shots until the closing bell, fighting at close range in back-and-forth action that brought the crowd to its feet.  Vazquez won both the ninth and 10th rounds on two of the three judges’ scorecards. 

“I’m extremely happy with this victory,” Vazquez said after the fight.  “I have nothing but respect for Matthysse – she’s a true champion.  It was a tough fight, but we executed our game plan and did what we had to do in the ring.  This was my promise to my promoter, Universal Promotions.

“Today I fulfilled a lifelong dream.  We’re just getting started.  Mexico and Puerto Rico have a new world champion.”

In the second bout of the broadcast, 22-year-old undefeated super featherweight prospect and Puerto Rican favorite William Colon knocked out veteran Jeremy Triana in the round seventh round (1:38 TKO) in an impressive and dominating performance. 

Colon (10-0, 6 KOs) teed off on Triana from the opening bell, using his significant reach advantage to control the pace and fight from a distance.  Colon won every round of the fight and landed punishing shots at will with an impressive mix of punches.  He landed more than a dozen unanswered shots midway through the seventh, forcing referee Moises Rivera to step in and stop the contest. 

In the opening bout on Wynn Records Network, Johanna Wonyou kept her undefeated record intact with a hard-fought unanimous decision over Tania Walters to win the WBA International Women’s Bantamweight title.  The 10-round bout was scored 99-91, 97-93, 96-94. 

Wonyou (13-0, 6 KOs) was in control through the first four rounds, dictating the pace and largely keeping Walters at bay.  Walters (7-6, 2 KOs) appeared to find another gear starting in the fifth and began charging forward, landing the hardest shot of the fight in the sixth round.  The eighth was the best round of the fight, with Walters fighting to close the gap, but Wonyou had pocketed enough rounds and won comfortably on all three judges scorecards.

Here’s what the participants had to say on Thursday:

PRYCE TAYLOR (12-0, 8 KOs), of Brooklyn, New York:

“This fight isn’t going 10 rounds.  I promise it’s going to be quick work on Saturday night. I plan on being as entertaining as always because I honestly don’t think he has the tools to hurt me, let alone force me out of first gear.  He won’t even be able to touch me. 

“He’s coming in with a lot of power, but that Mexican pride isn’t going to be enough to get the job done with me.” 

ISAAC MUNOZ (18-2-1, 15 KOs), of Mexico City: 

“I’m going into this fight completely focused. I am not taking Pryce lightly at all—we’ve prepared for war, and I am ready to go the full 10 rounds if that’s what it takes to get the job done. 

“Everyone knows I’m a big boy, but don’t let the size fool you; I’ve got the speed to match it. 

“To all my fans, thank you, Mexico. I’m going in there to make you proud this Saturday.” 

KIRIA TAPIA (9-0, 1 KO), of San Juan, Puerto Rico:

“Seeing the spotlight finally shine on women’s boxing and seeing it grow the way it has over the last few years and watching women finally make more money—fills my heart with so much pride.

“To all the young girls looking up to me, I want to tell you this: stay close to God, set your mind completely on your goals, and never lose your focus. It all starts in the mind. If your mind is locked in, everything else will follow.

“I am so excited to step into that ring in front of my beautiful home crowd here in Puerto Rico. I’ve put in the work, camp was intense, and I’m ready to show everyone exactly what I’ve been working on and get this win.”

DMITRIY SALITA, President, Salita Promotions:

“This event showcases Salita Promotions’ continued commitment to elevating women’s boxing by featuring three meaningful women’s bouts at pivotal stages of each fighter’s career.  

“The card features a women’s world title fight between Argentina’s Edith Soledad Matthysse and undefeated Mexican contender Litzy Vázquez.  Also featured is France’s Johanna Wonyou, who is on the verge of a world title shot, and one of the island’s brightest rising stars Kiria Tapia fighting in front of her hometown fans.

“These standout women’s contests are seamlessly integrated throughout the evening alongside compelling men’s matchups, including highly regarded undefeated heavyweight Pryce Taylor taking on battle-tested veteran Issac Munoz.  Presenting the fights together reflects our belief that great boxing is defined by competitive matchup and compelling stories – not gender.

“By showcasing world-class female and male athletes on the same stage we are helping grow the sport, introduce new fans to its stars, and build a stronger future for boxing. We are excited to partner with Universal Promotions to deliver these compelling matchups streaming live exclusively on http://WynnRecordsNetwork.com.”

JAVIER BUSTILLO, President, Universal Promotions:

“We’re thrilled to join forces with Salita Promotions yet again to present a great international event with world championship boxing. We have excellent female representation with our local star Kiria Tapia facing off against the Spaniard Alba Sánchez.  Plus we have a world title fight with the defending champion, the Argentinian Soledad Matthyse against the talented prospect from Mexico, Litzy Vásquez. It will be an amazing night of boxing” 

EDITH SOLEDAD MATTHYSSE (21-16-1, 4 KOs), of Santa Fe, Argentina:

“I’m thrilled to showcase my talent on the world stage, especially here in Puerto Rico, the birthplace of so many champions. My team has done an outstanding job studying my opponent. We’ve prepared for everything we expect to face this Saturday night, and we have several game plans in place. She’ll have to be at her very best, because I know I will.

“Ive had my ups and downs in women’s boxing, but it’s gotten so much better.  Everything has been great since I joined Salita Promotions.  My fight with Samantha Worthington, I was worried about my diet and I felt unprepared, but I was able to come out on top and get the belt and I’m happy she’s OK.  On Saturday I plan to leave everything in the ring and make Argentina proud.”

LITZY VAZQUEZ (8-0, 6 KOs), Veracruz, Mexico

“I’m excited to be in Puerto Rico because it reminds me so much of my hometown of Veracruz. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity, which I’ve dreamed about my entire life. I’ve studied my opponent very carefully. She’s a tough, aggressive fighter who likes to come forward and apply constant pressure. My preparation has been excellent, and I’m ready for whatever she brings. It’s going to be a war in the ring, with each round becoming more intense than the last. One thing is certain: we’re going to put on a great show for the fans.”

SUGAR SHANE MOSLEY, Hall of Famer:  

“Through the Mosley Foundation of Love, our mission has always been about lifting up the youth, providing opportunities, and showing kids that they have a village standing behind them. Yaziel Ortiz is the very first kid we’ve been working with out of Loíza, Puerto Rico, and over the last eight months, he has shown me exactly what the spirit of this foundation is all about. Yaziel has a willingness to listen and true, unshakeable discipline which takes a fighter to the next level.”

YEZIEL “EL TONKA” ORTIZ, (2,1) of Loiza, Puerto Rico:

“The people of Loíza have such an incredible, beautiful spirit, and I can’t wait to represent them on Saturday night while making my mentor Shane Mosley proud for always believing in and guiding me.”

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO (July 7, 2026) – Undefeated American heavyweight Pryce Taylor will face the toughest test of his career against Mexican challenger Issac Muñoz this Saturday, July 11 in the debut Wynn Records Network event. The five-fight card will stream live at 8 p.m. ET from San Juan, Puerto Rico on https://watch.wynnrecordsnetwork.com/.

In the co-featured bout, Edith Soledad Matthysse will defend her Women’s WBA Interim Super Lightweight Title against undefeated challenger Litzy Vazquez Ochoa from Coliseíto Pedrín Zorrilla in San Juan. The event, which also features undefeated Puerto Rican women’s boxing sensation Kiria Tapia, is promoted by Salita Promotions and Universal Promotions in association with Wynn Records.

This Saturday’s debut event is the first of a long-term partnership between Salita Promotions and Wynn Records that will develop and test some of boxing’s most promising prospects and contenders, giving fans a first look at the future generation of stars as they take on meaningful step-up fights.  

“Puerto Rico has long been home to some of boxing’s biggest attractions, and we’re excited to partner with Wynn Records to help discover the sport’s next superstar,” said Dmitriy Salita, President, Salita Promotions. “This debut event on Wynn Records Network will showcase one of America’s most promising heavyweights in Brooklyn sensation Pryce Taylor, Puerto Rican standout Kiria Tapia, and many of boxing’s top rising prospects in competitive matchups that highlight the future of the sport.”  

“Pryce is Right” Taylor (12-0, 8 KOs) currently stands as the only undefeated fighter among the top five American heavyweight rankings. The 6-foot-4 Taylor, of Brooklyn, N.Y., will face the hard-hitting Muñoz (18-2-1, 15 KOs) in a major step-up fight as he looks to climb the rankings in the wide-open heavyweight division. Taylor, who fights out of New York City’s renowned Cops & Kids Program, has knocked out his last two opponents. 

The 34-year-old Muñoz, of Mexico City, has just two losses on his record against top-10 American heavyweights Richard Torrez Jr. and Jermain Franklin Jr. He took the fight against Franklin on short notice, losing a unanimous decision against a fighter coming off consecutive distance fights with Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua. His loss against Torrez was the first time he had been stopped in his career. 

Matthysse (21-16-1, 4 KOs), of Santa Fe, Argentina is a two-division champion and former unified featherweight champion. The older sister of former welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse, she won the WBA Interim Super Lightweight Title from Samantha Worthington in her last bout on February 22, winning the title when Worthington retired following the eighth round. Matthysse has competed professionally for nearly 20 years and has faced some of women’s boxing’s best from bantamweight to super lightweight.

The undefeated Litzy Vazquez Ochoa (8-0, 6 KOs) is just 24 years old and will face her toughest career challenge in the veteran Matthysse. Ochoa, of Veracruz, Mexico, has cruised since turning professional in 2022, stopping six out of her eight opponents, including a third round knockout of former world title challenger Liliana Palmera in her last bout. 

In a special feature and the final bout of the Wynn Records Network broadcast, undefeated local sensation Kiria Tapia (9-0, 1 KO) will face Alba Sanchez (9-4, 2 KOs), of Madrid, Spain, in an eight-round featherweight fight. Tapia was one of Puerto Rico’s most accomplished amateur boxers and since turning professional has established herself as one of the island’s premier female fighters and a major box office draw.  

In a co-featured fight, 22-year-old undefeated super featherweight prospect and Puerto Rican favorite William Colon (9-0, 5 KOs) will take on veteran Jeremy Triana (16-8-3, 14 KOs), of Cartagena, Colombia. 

Also featured on the card is a WBA International Women’s Bantamweight bout between undefeated contenders Johanna Wonyou (12-0, 2 KOs), of London, and Tania Walters (7-0, 2 KOs), of Toronto. 

The recently announced partnership between Salita Promotions and Wynn Records Network will expand boxing’s reach to new audiences while developing the next generation of stars. The recurring offerings are designed to complement the premier Salita Promotions events airing on DAZN, the global leader in boxing. They will provide an outlet for Salita Promotions and Wynn Records to showcase the growing roster of talent signed by both entities, giving boxing fans a first look at the future generation of stars as they prepare to take the next step in their careers.

NEW YORK CITY (July 7, 2026) – Now ranked among the top 10 heavyweights in America, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (12-0, 8 KOs) returns to the ring this Saturday in Puerto Rico for his second scheduled 10-round match, in his career-first main event, against Issac Munoz Gutierrez (18-2-1, 15 KOs).

All the action will be streamed live on Wynn Records Network, starting at 8 p.m. ET, from Coliseo Pedrin Zorilla in San Juan.

Taylor’s last fight was his first 10-rounder; however, he stopped Calvin Barrett (7-4) in the second round of their fight in Atlanta.

‘I’m definitely a 10-round fighter,” Taylor said. “I’m a 12-round fighter, too, it just hasn’t happened yet.”

A former college basketball, the 6’ 4”, 275-pound Taylor will face arguably the toughest opponent of his young professional career in the 6’ 2”, 250-pound Gutierrez, the veteran Mexican fighter known as “Drago.” Munoz’ two losses have been to 2020 USA Olympian and Olympic silver medalist, Richard Torrez Jr. (11-0), in Munoz’ last fight on December 7, 2024, which Torrez ended in round three with a knockout. Munoz’ other loss was to Jermaine Franklin, Jr. (21-2), in 2023 by way of a 10-round unanimous decision. Franklin Jr., who upset 15-0 Ivan Dychko 2 years ago, has also fought former world champion  Anthony Joshua, Moses Itauma and Dylan White.

Taylor has been active under his manager, Keith Sulivan, fighting for the 13^th time in less than 3 years, the last 8 under Salita Promotions.

The 29-year-old Taylor is expanding his brand. This will mark his second fight in Puerto Rico having fought there in his seventh pro fight, knocking out Trevor Kotara (4-3-1) in the opening round. Taylor has also fought in Atlanta, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, New York thrice and Michigan 5 times, 3 in Detroit and 2 in Flint.

“The boxing world is the same,” Taylor offered, “only differently named countries. Puerto Ricans love heavyweights and they really loved my first-round stoppage there. I’m very entertaining and know when to dance.”  

“Activity isn’t accidental,” Sullivan explained. “It stems from a lot of planning, persistence, and a commitment to developing fighters through meaningful ring experience, rather than long periods of inactivity. My job is to create opportunities. In a heavyweight division where inactivity has become the norm, through Sullivan Management, I prioritize keeping Pyrce active, prepared, and moving toward the biggest fights in the sport.”

A former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, Sullivan also manages undefeated 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (19-5, 1 KO), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga (21-1, 21 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and junior featherweight prospect Brooklyn “The Big Deal” Barwick (5-1, 5 KOs). Sullivan also co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (15-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.

NEW YORK CITY (May 6, 2026) – Undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (11-0, 7 KOs) has graduated to 10-round matches, starting this Saturday night (May 9) in Atlanta against upset-minded Calvin Barnett (7-4, 4 KOs).

Taylor vs. Barnett is on a card presented by Taylor’s promoter, Salita Promotions, which will be streamed on DAZN live from Gateway Center Arena.

This fight will mark the first scheduled 10-round bout in Taylor’s relatively short professional career, another goal that the 29-year-old Taylor will soon attain.

“I feel like this (first slated 10-rounder) means I’ve made it to the next level,” Taylor said. “I’ve been training to go 10 rounds, if needed, for a long time and I always pace myself in fights to try not to do too much. I’m capable of going 10 rounds, but I always go in the ring trying to end the fight early.”

A former college basketball, the 6’ 4”, 275-pound Taylor will face another upset specialist in Barnett, who has knocked off 2 unbeaten fighters in his last 3 fights, 11-0 Drake Banks (WKO3) and Dominique Valera 8-0-2 (WDEC3).

“Every great heavyweight has a moment where the spotlight gets brighter, and the competition gets real,” Taylor’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “For Pryce Taylor, that moment is this weekend in Atlanta. I fully expect him to rise to the moment and show the world he is ready to be the future of the American heavyweight division. His opponent is more than a gatekeeper; he is a record destroyer, taking away his last two opponents’ unblemished records.”

Barnett stands 6’ 3“ and weighs 250-pounds. The dangerous southpaw is a former Oklahoma State Heavyweight Champion.

“Like some of my other opponents,” Taylor noted, “He looks good on paper but not when they get in the ring with me. I’ve fought 4 lefthanded fighters and I have a good straight right, so he’s no different than some of my opponents.”

Taylor will be fighting for the 8th time in the last 17 months, something the Brooklynite embraces and more.

“I like to fight as often as possible to keep busy,” Taylor concluded. “The busier I can be keeps me sharp while I gain more experience.”

Taylor spent a large share of his training camp as a sparring partner for former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (45-4-1, 43 KOs), as well as undefeated Ukrainian heavyweight prospect Andrii Novytskyi (16-0, 12 KOs) in Long Beach, California.

Keith Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages undefeated 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (19-5, 1 KO), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga (21-1, 21 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and junior featherweight prospect Brooklyn “The Big Deal” Barwick (4-1, 4 KOs). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.

NEW YORK CITY (March 26, 2026) – Rising undefeated heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (11-0, 7 KOs) has been gaining invaluable experience attending week-long training camps this month to be a sparring partner for past World Heavyweight Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) and undefeated Ukrainian heavyweight prospect Andrii “Rampage” Novytskyi (15-0, 11 KOs).

“When I’m invited to training camps,” the 29-year-old Taylor said, “it’s because they need good sparring. Usually, I don’t train with them, but I did work out with Andrii, and Wilder would hang out with us (4 sparring partners) after sparring him a few rounds, one of us right after the other. I learn better sparring and eventually I’m going to fight guys like them who are tall and move fast. I learned how to get inside faster at these last two camps.”

The 6’ 6”, 245-pound Novytskyi faces 6’ 4”, 260-pound Alexander Flores (21-5-1, 19 KOs) tomorrow night (Friday, Mar. 27) in Long Beach, California. Taylor (6’4”, 275-pounds) said they brought him to the Los Angeles training camp on March 7 because of his similar size to Flores and that they fought two Team Boxing League matches in 2023 (Flores on the LA Elite team, Taylor for NYC Attitude), splitting a pair of decisions.

Two days after he left LA, Taylor arrived at Wilder’s much different training camp, at his spacious mansion in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The world heavyweight champion from 2015-2020, Wilder was preparing for his 12-round fight on April 4th against (6’, 1”, 260-pound) Derek “War” Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) at O2 Arena in Greenwich, United Kingdom.

“Wilder was inspiring,” Taylor gushed. “His mansion had a gym, basketball court, lake and a ferry to cross it. I got to see what could eventually come from my career. I wasn’t surprised by what he had, but I was surprised by how cool he is. He hung out with us (sparring partners) and gave us all a lot of good advice. He said he liked my style and that was really cool to hear. I resemble Chisora in the ring and that’s why they brought me to camp.”

Taylor admitted he got a small taste of what could be his future.

Taylor is tentatively slated to fight May 9th in Atlanta.

Keith Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages undefeated 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and junior featherweight prospect Brooklyn “The Big Deal” Barwick (4-1, 4 KOs). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.

NEW YORK CITY (March 2, 2026) – A pair of relatively low-key, but highly formidable heavyweights, Albanian knockout artist Kristian “KP” Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs) and former college basketball player Pryce Taylor (11-0, 7 KOs), of Brooklyn, recently turned in impressive victories on the same weekend.

Prenga and Taylor are both managed by Sullivan Management.

“I’m proud to be working with two heavyweights at different stages of the journey – one a contender, the other a rising prospect,” manager Keith Sullivan said. “What they share is discipline, patience, and a willingness to do hard work when nobody’s watching. That’s how real careers are built in this division.

“One fighter (Prenga) is already knocking on the door, the other (Taylor) is still climbing the stairs; the process is the same, consistent work, smart matchmaking, busy schedules and respect for their strengths.”

The 34-year-old Prenga, now fighting out of Edgewater, New Jersey, didn’t need a full round to violently take out his opponent, “Mighty” Joe Jones (16-4-1, 10 KOs), who apparently agitated Prenga in the fight buildup and ultimately paid the price.

Prenga floored Jones early in the opening round with a body shot. Jones never really recovered and he was floored two more times in round one, when referee David Francion halted the fight at the 1:57 mark. Prenga has 20 knockouts in his 20 victories.

“Same as always,” Prenga evaluated his performance. “I get in the ring to box and always give my best, but when my opponent acted like he was tough and talked too much, I didn’t like that. So, I took him out in less than 2 minutes.

“I’m ready for anyone and everyone because it’s the right time for me. I want to fight again soon. As far as opponents in my mind I want the one that holds the title, and God willing I will get there soon.”

Prenga vs. Jones was a scheduled 8-round main event on February 21 at Showboat Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The following day in Detroit, Taylor fought on a Salita Promotions card, headlined by his promotional stablemate, undisputed world heavyweight champion Claressa Shields, and viewed worldwide on DAZN.

“The Pryce Was Right” again for Taylor, 29, who destroyed James Evans (9-3-1, 7 KOs) enroute to fifth-round stoppage. A trio of effective left hooks from Taylor left Evans battered and hanging on. The punishment continued as Taylor dropped Evans again and it was only a matter of time. The onslaught continued in the fifth round as Taylor sent Evans to a knee with a sweet left uppercut-straight right. Even though Evans managed to beat the count, the referee waved off the fight for a fifth-round technical knockout triumph for Taylor.

“I put on a master class of ring cutting,” Taylor commented. “I was dominant, strong and showed a little glimpse of angles and head movement, along with a sense of future greatness. I’m more of a chess player in the ring. I don’t rush in trying to take out my opponent because I know we’re both heavyweights and it only takes one big punch. I learned who he was during the first two rounds and adjusted.

“I wasn’t sure if he could take my right. He was good with the overhand right, but I saw that he couldn’t take my straight right. I beat him with my straight right over the next few rounds until the fight ended.”    

Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and undefeated featherweight prospect Brooklyn Barwick (4-1, 4 KOs). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.

Shields, 174 lbs of Flint, MI won by scores of 100-90 on all cards and is now 18-0. Crews-Dezurn, 174.2 lbs of Baltimore is 10-3.

This was a rematch of the pro debuts of each fighter that saw Shields win a four-round decision in 2016.

Oberlton Stops George After 1; George Momentarily Collapses on Stool

Atif Oberlton got stoppage after round one when Joseph George Jr. collapsed on his stool.

Not much happened in round one, but replays showed a clash of heads between the two. In between rounds, George plummeted of his stool and seemed to momentarily unconscious.

Oberlton, 174.8 lbs is 14-0 with 13 knockouts. George, 173.4 lbs of Houston is 13-2.

Perkins Knocks Out Kenneally To win WBA Light Heavyweight Title

Danielle Perkins won the WBA Light Heavyweight title with a sensational one-punch knockout over Che Kenneally in round six.

Perkins, 174.4 lbs of Houston is 6-1 with three knockouts. Kenneally, 171 lbs of Gold Coast, AUS is 5-1.

Pryce Taylor Stops Evans in 3

Pryce Taylor remained undefeated with fifth round stoppage over James Evans in an eight-round heavyweight bout.

In round four, Pryce landed a left to the body that took Evans into the ropes for a knockdown. Moments later, Taylor landed a clubbing right that put Evans on the cannvas.

In round fiive, Taylor continued to land hard clubbing shots that put Evans down for a third time. When Evans got to his feet, the fight was stopped at 53 seconds.

Taylor, 275.2 lbs of Brooklyn is 11-0 with seven knockouts. Evans, 223.8 lbs of Toledo, OH is 9-3-1.

NEW YORK CITY (February 16, 2026) – Brooklyn’s undefeated heavyweight Pryce Taylor (10-0, 6 KOs) is set to make his third consecutive appearance in Detroit and fifth overall in Michigan overall. He will face James Evans (9-2-1, 7 KOs) this Sunday in an eight-round bout at Little Caesars Arena.

Pryce will also be fighting on a loaded Salita Promotions-card, headlined by All-World Claressa Shields (17-0), the undisputed world female heavyweight champion, streaming live on DAZN. This fight will mark the third time Pryce has fought on a show featuring Shields in the main event (Feb. 22 vs. Franchon Crews Dezurn (10-2).

The added exposure Taylor receives fighting on the same card as Shields is invaluable, especially considering the international range of DAZN.

“My promoter, Dimitry Salita, has a lot of connections in Detroit,” Taylor noted about fighting again in Detroit. “I like fighting and have no complaints about where. Wherever it is, I bring my New York City charisma. Claressa’s Detroit fans are 100-percent behind me and I’ve gained a lot of followers fighting on DAZN cards that she headlines.

“Claressa is an inspiration for what she has accomplished. We know each other through my coach. He was one of the USA Boxing Team’s coaches when she was on it, so we are cool with each other and support each other. After my last fight, she gave me some good advice. She likes my style and said if I follow her advice, I’ll be faster, and she’s right.”

In December, Taylor demonstrated notable progress in his skill set during his latest bout, securing an almost “shutout” victory with an 8-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-72, 79-73) against veteran heavyweight Michael Polite-Coffie (13-5, 10 KOs), further establishing his reputation as one of America’s most promising heavyweights.

Evans, who fights out of Toledo, Ohio, is coming off a 6-round unanimous decision victory last August to Vercell Webster, whose 2 losses and 1 draw have been to undefeated fighters.

The 29-year-old Taylor’s last 2 fights have been 8-rounders, as his match with Evans, and he’s preparing to soon graduate to a 10-round fighter.

“I feel like I’m ready for 10-plus rounds and title fights,” Taylor said. I’ve been training to go 12 rounds. My stamina is much better now because of some changes we made in my training.”

“Claressa Shields sets the standard for championship excellence, and fighting on her undercard puts Pryce in front of a global audience,” Taylor’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “Pryce is ready to grab that moment and showcase why is the American heavyweight to watch.”

NEW YORK CITY (December 18, 2025) – Undefeated Pryce Taylor (9-0, 6 KOs) is considered one of the leading heavyweight prospects in the United States. The 6’ 4”, 275-pound Taylor will showcase his skill set this Saturday night (Dec. 20) against veteran Michael Polite Coffie (13-5, 10 KOs) in an 8-round match-up, streaming live on DAZN from Fox Theater in Detroit.

Taylor’s promoter, Dmitry Salita (Salita Promotions), certainly is a believer. “On Saturday, December 20,” Salita said, “we have a classic heavyweight showdown in Pryce Taylor versus Michael Coffie. Taylor is one of the most promising American heavyweight prospects of this era, and he carries significant potential. Coffie is a bonafide gatekeeper who has the ability to detail Pryce’s dreams of championship glory. When Coffie lost to Fabio Wardley in an all-out war in the U.K., Wardley went on to fight for a world title shortly after. Pryce has the same expectations in this fight. With a win, he will establish himself as a serious contender and join a very short list of American fighters vying for the coveted heavyweight world title opportunity.”

Taylor, 29, registered a solid 60-11 amateur record, captured a pair of New York Golden Gloves titles, and was heavyweight runner-up four times at the prestigious USA Boxing Nationals.

Pryce’s manager Keith Sullivan (Sullivan Management) agrees with Salita’s claims about Taylor’s potential, adding, “America is looking for its next great heavyweight and Pryce Taylor is answering that call. This fight is another statement on his path to the top.”

Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO), and junior featherweight prospect Brooklyn “The Big Deal” Barwick (4-0, 4 KOs). Sullivan also co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee. 

NEW YORK CITY (December 1, 2025) – Brooklyn’s undefeated Pryce Taylor (9-0, 6 KOs) is emerging as one of America’s top heavyweight prospects, continuing the borough’s long standing boxing legacy.   

Brooklyn has produced world heavyweight champions such as Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, and Shannon Briggs—all International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees with the exception of Briggs—and Taylor is the latest.

The 6’ 4”, 275-pound Taylor returns to the ring on December 20^th, fighting veteran Michael Polite Coffie (13-5, 10 KOs), on a live DAZN stream in an 8-round bout from Fox Theater in Detroit.

Presented by Taylor’s promoter, Salita Promotions, and King’s Promotions, the card is headlined by a rematch of a draw this past September between Olivia Curry (7-2-2) and Kaye Scott (4-1-1), once again for the vacant World Boxing Council Middleweight World Championship.

“I’m very happy to be fighting for the fifth time in 2025 and again in Detroit, which is becoming my second home,” Taylor said. “I’m making a statement in this fight that I belong with the best heavyweights in the United States.”

Taylor is coming off an 8-round unanimous decision, also in Detroit, shutting out Robert Simms (12-4-1) in a dominant performance, winning all 8 rounds on each of the 3 judges’ scorecards.

Coffie will serve as an accurate barometer having fought the likes of Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs, reigning WBO Interim Heavyweight Champion) and Gurgen Hovhannisyan (9-0, 8 KOs), among his more notable opponents.

“I’m going to outbox him from start to finish,” Taylor added, “and if the knockout comes, it comes. The Pryce is always Right.”      

The 29-year-old Taylor had a 60-11 solid amateur record, including victories in two New York Golden Gloves tournaments, and he finished as heavyweight runner-up four times at the USA Boxing National Championships.  

Claressa Shields retained the Undisputed Heavyweight Title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Lani Daniels at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

Shields landed 167 of 535 punches. Daniels was just 41 of 240.

Shields, 174.6 lbs of Flint, MI won by scores of 100-90 and 99-91 twice is now 17-0. Daniels, 170.4 lbs of Pipiwau, NZ is 11-3.

Harrison Gets Dropped But Decisions Diaz

Former world champion Tony Harrison won a 10-round unanimous decision over Edward Diaz in a middleweight bout.

In round nine, Diaz landed a perfect counter right on the chin that put Harrison on the deck.

Harrison landed 213 of 572 punches. Diaz was 53 of 382,

Harrison, 159.2 lbs of Detroit won by scores of 98-91, 97-92 and 96-93 and is now 30-4-1. Diaz, 159.4 lbs of El Congo, DR is 1607.

Pryce Taylor Decisions Simms

Pryce Taylor remained undefeated with a eight-round unanimous decision over Robert Simms in a heavyweight bout.

Taylor landed 176 of 668 punches. Simms was 97 of 341.

Taylor, 278.2 lbs of Brooklyn won by scores of 80-72 on all cards and is now 9-0. Simms, 258 lbs pf Saginaw, MI is 12-5-1.

Worthington Decisions Piteau

Samantha Worthington won a 10-round majority decision over Victoire Piteau to win the WBA Interim Super Lightweight title.

Worthington landed 176 of 614 punches. Piteau landed 165 of 551.

Worthington, 138.4 lbs of Lexington, KY won by scores of 99-91, 96-94 and 95-95. Piteau, 139.2 lbs of Saint-Maur, FRA is 14-3.

Veyre Decisions Boudersa

Caroline Veyre won a 10-round unanimous decision over Licia Boudersa in a featherweight elimination bout.

In round six, Veyre landed a hard right that had the nose of Boudersa bleeding from her nostrils. In round nine, Boudersa was cut over her left eye.

Veyre landed 158 of 408 punches. Boudersa was 60 of 410.

Veyre, 125.4 lbs of Montreal won by scores of 99-91 twice and 98-92 and is now 10-1. Boudersa, 125.4 lbs of Lilie, FRA is 24-4-2.

NEW YORK CITY (July 17, 2025) – Undefeated heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (8-0, 6 KOs) is set to return to the ring on July 26th in Detroit. After coming off his June 6th knockout win over Ed 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 as Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, and 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 amateur record, 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, including 6 stoppages in his 8 matches, 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 champion Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 KOs), who faces Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) in Detroit. Previously, Taylor stopped Jerell Nettles in 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 on Robert Simms (12-4-1, 3 KOs) from Saginaw, Michigan. Two fights prior, Simms defeated previously unbeaten James McKenzie Morrison (20-1-2, 18 KOs), who is the son of the late world heavyweight champion Tommy 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 rounds, 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 manager Keith Sullivan stated. “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 26th that will come true.”

Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 KOs) and his cousin, pro-debuting middleweight Jim Donovan, alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.

NEW YORK CITY (June 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 Promotions).

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,” Taylor said, “because they’ve seen me fight. Fighting brings the dog out in me. He (Fountain) 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.

Fountain (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, at Turning Stone Resort Casino in 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 again. I love throwing my straight right and that keeps opening up my left hook to the body.”

Taylor had a 60-11 amateur record, 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.”

Salita told Taylor that he would 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) at Little Caesars Arena.

Sullivan, a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, also manages 3-time, 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, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

NEW YORK CITY (June 2, 2025) – Undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (7-0, 5 KOs) will honor the late, great Hall of Famer George Foreman this Friday night when he enters the ring to take on Ed Fountain (14-8, 7 KOs) in the event center at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

The 6-round Taylor vs. Fountain match is on the undercard of “International Boxing Hall of Fame Night,” presented by Taylor’s promoter Salita Promotions, and will be headlined by the 10-round IBF USBA Heavyweight Championship match between Brandon Moore and Stanley Wright.

Taylor, 28, will wear a George Foreman T-shirt during his ring walk into the ring. Although he never met Foreman, Taylor feels a connection with “Big George.”

“I didn’t know anything about boxing until I started boxing in 2017,” the former college basketball player Taylor explained. “I looked him up and I want to steal some of his size and power. I really wish I got to meet him before he passed away. I’m going to do right by him in his name for this fight. He beat people up and I’m going to try as hard as I can to do the same in this fight.”

Taylor will face the toughest test of his young professional career in Fountain, whose 14 wins is more than 10 better than any of Taylor’s other opponents to date.

“It’s going to be a great fight,” Taylor said. “He’s a lefty but I’ve been great against southpaws. I know he’s very aggressive; that’s going to get him hurt.” 

Because this coming weekend celebrates the induction of the International Boxing of Fame’s Class of 2025 in nearby Canastota, boxing stars from the past, present and future, in addition to many of the leading boxing media members, will be attending Friday evening’s boxing event.

“I can’t wait to show off my skills for all of them,” Taylor added. “It’s just work, though. Whatever comes will come. I just love doing it.”

Taylor had a 60-11 amateur record, 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.

“George was an icon in the sport,” commented Taylor’s manager, NYC boxing lawyer Keith Sullivan. “People have compared Pryce’s size, physique and style to that of ‘Big George.’ I am happy he chose to honor him in this fight. On DAZN during Hall of Fame weekend is a great platform for Pryce to showcase his abilities. Salita Promotions has been doing a great job working with me to keep Pryce active and on big cards. I am looking forward to ‘The Pryce is Right’ securing another victory this week in Canastota, New York.”

Sullivan, a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, also manages 3-time, 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, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

The hellacious volume punching of Subriel Matias was the catalyst to an eighth-round stoppage of Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela of their 12-round junior lightweight bout in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

In round four, the left eye from Valenzuela began to bleed from the constant landed punches of Matias. At the end of the round the swelling under the eye was very bad.

In round eight, Valenzuela finally succumbed to the pressure as he went down from a flurry and the fight was stopped upon getting to his feet at 2:55.

Matias, 139.8 lbs of Fajardo, PR is 22-2 with 22 knockouts. Valenzuela, 139.8 lbs of Guadalajara. MEX is 30-4-1.

Santaigo Stops Fortuna After 9

Alfredo Santiago stopped former world champion Javier Fortuna in round nine of their 10-round junior welterweight bout.

In round eight, Santiago scored a knockdown with a left hook. After the round, Fortuna’s corner halted the bout. The official time was one second of round nine.

Santiago, 139.8 lbs of Moca, DR is 17-2 with eight knockouts. Fortuna, 146.6 lbs of La Romana, DR is 39-6-1.

Ndongeni Upsets Bravo

Xolisani Ndongeni scored a mild upset by winning a 10-round split decision over previously undefeated Nestor Bravo in a super lightweight bout.

In round two, Bravo landed a left hook to the side of the head that had Ndongeni stumbling to the canvas.

Ndongeni, 140 lbs of Duncan Village, SA won by scores of 98-92 and 05-94 while Bravo won a card 97-92.

Ndongeni s 33-6. Bravo, 140 lbs of Arecibo, PR is 23-1.

Pryce Taylor stops Kotara in the 1st Round

Pryce Taylor scored three knockdowns en-route to an opening round stoppage over Trevor Kotra in a six-round heavyweight bout.

In round one, Taylor landed a left to the body that Kotara on the canvas. Taylor put Kotara down again with a flurry of punches in the corner. Taylor ended things with another flurry in the corner that was capped by a left to the head and the fight was stopped at 2:12.

NEW YORK CITY (February 24, 2025) – Fresh off his devastating second-round knockout victory of Jerell Nettles on February 2nd, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (6-0, 4 KOs) is looking forward to fighting for the first time, professionally, outside of the United States this Saturday night (March 1).

Taylor faces southpaw Trevor Kotara (4-3-1, 1 KO), fighting out of Mesa, Arizona, in Taylor’s second scheduled six-round bout, to be streamed on DAZN live from Coliseo Tomas Dones in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

The show is co-promoted by Salita Promotions – Taylor’s promoter – and Fresh Production.

“I’ve never fought in Puerto Rico, but I vacationed there and loved it,” the 6’ 4”, 265-pound Taylor said. “I know some Spanish words and phrases and they definitely support their fighters there. I want to show them my skills, power, and agility; I’m going to move like a welterweight. I’m not concerned about fighting in my second six-rounder because I always train to go 12. I’ll be ready.

“It’s important for me to have people (outside of the New York and New Jersey areas) to know who Pryce Taylor is and how good I am. I fought a southpaw in my third pro fight (Taylor won a 4-round unanimous decision over Antonio Torres). I spar southpaws a lot because, after a loss in the amateurs to a southpaw, I made it a priority to spar southpaws, so I could beat them.”

A former college basketball player, Taylor was a standout amateur boxer, recording a record of 60-11, including a pair of New York Golden Gloves titles, in addition to being the heavyweight runner-up four times in the prestigious USA National Championships.

Taylor is managed by NYC boxing lawyer Keith Sullivan, the former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, who also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and undefeated Bronx NYPD Officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-0, 1 KO), the WBA No. 3 rated welterweight, in addition to co-managing world-rated (WBA #5, IBF #6, WBC #14) welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, 11 KOs), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

NEW YORK CITY (February 5, 2025) – Last Sunday, the boxing maturation process continued for developing Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (6-0, 3 KOs) who fought on the high-profile Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 KOs)-Danielle Perkins (5-1, 2 KOs) card in Flint, Michigan.

Taylor, 28, blasted late replacement Jerell Nettles (4-11-1, 1 KO), of Denver, who was unable to get out of the second round against the heavy-handed Taylor.

“The beat goes on…….literally,” Taylor said after the fight. “I hit him with a right hand and he almost landed outside of the ropes. He tried to hold on to me, but his legs couldn’t keep him up, and he flopped down on the canvas.”

Unfortunately, due to the late replacement, Taylor fought in the opening bout of the evening in front of only a handful of fans.

“There weren’t many people there for my fight,” Taylor explained, “because I was supposed to fight somebody else who got hurt. But I got to watch the other fights and see the crowd. It felt electric there. I’ve been to some other big fights like Wilder vs. Washington, but sitting in the first row for these fights felt exciting. I wish that I had fought on television, but it’s going to come. All I can do is keep putting on a show.

“As we entered the arena, my manager, Keith Sullivan, said to me, ‘Look around and take it in because one day you are going to be the headliner.’ I am motivated to get to that point in my career.”

“I was hoping he would get more rounds this time out in his first six-rounder,” Sullivan added. “Trust me, he is just getting started. He spars with all of the tri-state area heavyweights and handles them like a seasoned pro. When he lands, it’s like a cinder block getting dropped on you. I plan on getting him back in the ring in a few weeks.”

A boxing lawyer as well as a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, Sullivan also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion, IBF No. 1 rated  Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and undefeated Bronx NYPD Officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-0, 1 KO), the WBA No. 3 rated welterweight, in addition to co-managing world-rated (WBA #5, IBF #6, WBC #13) welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, 11 KOs), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

NEW YORK CITY (January 28, 2025) – Undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor is excited about the added exposure he’ll receive this Sunday (Feb. 2) fighting on the high-profile Claressa Shields (15-0, 3 KOs) vs. Danielle Perkins (5-0, 2 KOs) card in Flint, Michigan.

Taylor, 28, demolished KeShawn Jackson this past December, also held in Flint, fighting for the first time for his promoter, Salita Promotions. Multiple world champion Shields, who is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, is a native of Flint. Her fight with Perkins is for the undisputed world heavyweight title, which will headline the Salita Promotions’ event being streamed live on DAZN.

Taylor was originally slated to fight Robert Simms (12-4-1, 3 KOs), who recently withdrew due to an injury, and replacement Jerell Nettles (4-10-1, 1 KO), of Denver, will now be the opponent for Taylor’s first scheduled six-round bout.

“This is a step up for me as it’s my first six rounder. I’m excited for it; I wanted to step up the rounds two fights ago.” Taylor said. “I have no concerns about the change of my opponent. It happens and I train to be at my best and able to handle anyone. It’s great fighting on this show because Claressa is the headliner. She is an unbelievable fighter and story. I’m hoping to expand my fan base through the packed arena and streaming on DAZN. It’s a great way to start 2025 and I am eager to fight as often as possible. I’ll be ready.”

“The big guy has been putting in a lot of hard work both on his boxing technique and his strength and conditioning,” Taylor’s manager Keith Sullivan added. “He is moving in the right direction, and I am pleased to have him showcased on a big card broadcast through DAZN. Outside of the ring he is a gentle giant. Such a nice, likeable, respectful guy, but inside, he is a force to be reckoned with. When the boxing world starts seeing these two-sides to Pryce, they will become huge fans of his.”

A boxing lawyer as well as a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, Sullivan also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-5) and undefeated Bronx NYPD Officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-0, 1 KO), the WBA No. 3 rated welterweight, in addition to co-managing world-rated (WBA #5, IBF #6, WBC #13) welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, 11 KOs), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

DETROIT (Jan. 24, 2025)– Three heavyweight bouts led by headliner and hometown hero the GWOAT Claressa Shields taking on towering Danielle Perkins for the Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship will be featured during “SUPER FIGHT SUNDAY” on February 2 from the Dort Financial Center and airing live on the premier global sports platform DAZN (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT).

Two new Salita Promotions heavyweight signees, Brandon Moore and Pryce Taylor, will also be in action as Moore (16-1, 10 KOs) takes on Indianapolis’ Skylar Lacy (8-0-2, 6 KOs) for the USBA Vacant Heavyweight Title in the co-featured bout. Taylor (5-0, 3 KOs) will return to fight in Flint after just six weeks as he squares off against Denver, CO’s Jerrell Nettles (4-10, 1 KO).

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased online HERE or in person at the Dort Financial Center Box Office. 

In addition to the heavyweights, Michigan’s top boxing talent will once again be on full display.

Hailing from Grand Rapids, Mich., undefeated fan-favorite Joseph Hicks (11-0, 7 KOs) returns to action when he takes on Louisiana’s Keon Papillion (10-0-1, 7 KOs) in a welterweight showdown. In his last outing, Hicks scored a unanimous decision victory against Ronnie Austion last September. This will arguably be Hicks’ toughest test to date as Papillion enters this televised bout on the strength of a second-round stoppage victory over Rondale Hubbert last September.

“I do not know much about my opponent, but I know that he is extremely durable,” said Hicks. “It is a blessing to perform in Flint once again. Flint has become a home away from home for me. Salita Promotions has put together an incredibly strong card, and it’s an honor to share the stage with the GWOAT Claressa Shields and some of the upcoming talent from Flint.”

Also featured on the televised card is undefeated Joshua James Pagan (11-0, 4 KOs) of Grand Rapids, Mich., who looks to continue his dominance in the ring when he squares off against Venezuela’s Ronal Ron (16-7, 13 KOs). The 25-year-old Pagan is coming off his first fight internationally last October when he defeated the grizzled Haskell Rhodes in Puerto Rico.

Coming from a rich bloodline of fighters, Leon Lawson III (16-1, 9 KOs) returns to the Dort Financial Center on the heels of an emphatic knockout victory over Argentina’s Luis Alberto Veron in September. Opposite the Flint star, Christopher Thompson (9-2, 6 KOs) of Kansas City, Mo., will be a tough out as he started his career with nine straight wins after turning pro in 2020.

It will be yet another Flint fighter opening up the night of fights as rising Jaquan McElroy (2-0, 1 KO) will take on Nathan Mitchell (1-3, 1 KO) of Senatobia, Miss.

Newly signed Salita Promotions prospect Canada’s Carolyne Veyre (8-1) squares off against Carmen Vargas (5-2-1) of Houston, Texas, in a highly anticipated vacant Women’s WBA Intercontinental Featherweight Title bout. A former Olympian, the reigning WBC International Featherweight Champion Veyre aims to make a statement following her dominant win over Gabriela Bouvier last December.

Opening up the televised main card and recently signed to the Salita Promotions banner, the first-ever female Olympic boxer in Puerto Rico, Ashleyann Lozada,will make her professional debut against Denise Moran (3-0) of San Diego, Calif. The 2023 Pan American Games bronze medalist Lozado boasts a decorated amateur career and looks to showcase her skills in her televised debut.

In a quick turnaround following an impressive unanimous decision victory last December, the undefeated Samantha Worthington (10-0, 7 KOs) fighting out Folsom., Calif., looks to claim another statement victory in the women’s super lightweight division against Lithuania’s Vaida Masiokaite (10-26-1, 1 KO).

NEW YORK CITY (December 17, 2024) – Fighting for the first time with the full support of a promoter, Salita Promotions, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor said afterwards that he feels positive and confident he’s going to make it in boxing.

Taylor (5-0, 3 KOs), 28, destroyed KeShawn Jackson last Thursday evening in Flint, Michigan, fighting on a show presented by his promoter, in which he registered an impressive third-round stoppage to close his 2024 campaign on a high note.

“It felt good fighting on a bigger stage in a small arena with a cool atmosphere,” Taylor spoke about his first fight with a promotional contract. “My manager, Keith Sullivan, supported me by agreeing to sign with Salita Promotions. He spoke with several promoters, but we felt Dimitri Salita was the right fit for me. I felt like I had made it; I felt important, but this is just the beginning. The night of the fight was the same, I felt respect and appreciation from the entire Salita promotional company. My goal is to be more acknowledged as a fighter and recognized by the fans. I am hungry to showcase myself in the coming year.”

“Four knockdowns were counted. I really hurt him with a body shot and once he felt my power he was done. I threw a barrage of punches in the corner (ss the picture below), and he tried to hit me with a windmill punch. I then hit him with a check-hook that ended the fight. He (Jackson) didn’t want to get knocked out, so he tried showing he was still fighting.”

Pryce Taylor (L) battered KeShawn Jackson

“Obviously,” Sullivan commented, “I am happy with the win. It was yet another development fight and Pryce is learning and growing as a fighter. We had a busy year with 8 scheduled fights and 5 that actually got over the line, so it was a very good first year as a pro for him. Immediately afterwards, I was in talks with Dimitri to line up the next fight. Hopefully, we’ll have him scheduled for the coming weeks.”

Looking ahead to 2025, Taylor wants his next fight to be a scheduled six round bout in his next appearance, and then work his way up to eight for a junior title fight.

“I’ll be training to go 10 rounds now,” Taylor concluded, “so that I’ll be ready when the time comes for me to go 12 rounds.”

Sullivan, a boxing lawyer as well as a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-5) and undefeated Bronx NYPD Officer Nisa Rodriguez (2-0), in addition to co-managing world-rated (IBF & WBA #6, WBC #14) welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, 11 KOs), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

DETROIT (Nov. 19, 2024) – Salita Promotions has announced the signing of undefeated heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor, a former amateur standout who, like his new promoter Dmitriy Salita, learned the sweet science in New York City’s Brooklyn borough.

A professional for just under a year, the 28-year-old Taylor (4-0, 2 KOs) will be featured on the next edition of “BIG TIME BOXING USA”, boxing’s premier talent developmental series, in Flint, Mich., on Thursday, December 12, airing live on global streaming service DAZN. The fight card is already loaded with some of boxing’s top prospects, including Michigan’s Ardreal “Bossman” Holmes Jr., Joey Spencer, Da’Velle “Hitman 2.0” Smith and Leon Lawson III, and is arguably Salita’s best since the BIG TIME BOXING USA series launched in February. 

*Tickets for the event at Dort Financial Center are on sale now and can be purchased online or in-person at the Dort Financial Center Box Office. 

Taylor is managed by Keith Sullivan and trained by Benny Roman and hopes to continue the tradition of Brooklyn-born heavyweight world champions such as Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Shannon Briggs and Floyd Patterson.

“I have been very impressed by what I’ve seen from Pryce in both the amateurs and in his first four professional bouts,” said Salita, who adds Taylor to a formidable stable of champions and contenders including Claressa Shields, Shohjahon Ergashev, Jermaine Franklin, Joshua Pagan and Vladimir Shishkin. “Pryce has a great chance to compete for a world title in the near future. He has all the skill and physical attributes to become the next great American heavyweight champion. It will be an exciting journey, and we are proud that he has entrusted Salita Promotions to help guide him to the top.”

The 6-foot-4 Taylor is a former college basketball player who took up boxing at the age of 20 when he was introduced to the sport by members of the Cops & Kids Boxing Club in Brooklyn. Taylor quickly learned the craft and imposed his will in amateur competitions, building a record of 60 wins, 11 losses. He won two New York Golden Gloves titles and was the heavyweight runner-up four times in annual USA National Championship tournaments. In 2020, Taylor narrowly missed qualifying to represent his country at the Tokyo Olympic Games, falling just short at U.S.A. Boxing team trials in Louisiana.

“I’m very happy to have signed with Salita Promotions,” said Taylor. “My manager and I reviewed several offers, and we believe that working with Salita is a great opportunity and in my best interest. I’m still learning and developing so it’s helpful to have a promoter who was an accomplished fighter, who knows the path to the top. I can’t wait to get started, get on big shows, and into main events. I’m excited for the future.”

Sullivan added: “Today marks the beginning of an exciting journey for Pryce Taylor. Salita Promotions made it clear that they believe in Pryce’s ability and talent. I’m confident that Dmitriy and his team will help Pryce’s career reach great heights. We’re pleased to welcome them to the team.”

Taylor has worked with top heavyweights and served as a sparring partner to such notables as Jared Anderson, Filip Hrgovic, Jarrrell Miller, Otto Wallin and Brandon Glanton.

NEW YORK CITY (July 24, 2024) – Undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (4-0, 2 KOs) learned invaluable lessons from attending a Sugar Hill-operated training camp in Delray Beach, Florida, last week as a sparring partner for undefeated heavyweight Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson (17-0, 15 KOs) as he prepares in for his next fight on August 3rd in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old Anderson, who was a two-time U.S. Nationals Championship gold medalist, takes on Martin Bakole (20-1) on a major DAZN pay-per-view card, headlined by world super welterweight champion Terence Crawford.

“Jared is definitely the real deal,” Taylor said, “and camp was well organized. We did rounds and Sugar Hill (Anderson’s head trainer) let us see the recordings. He likes to go back to review videos and he sent us copies of it to review and analyze. He likes to teach. He’s about teaching techniques and giving instructions. I learned from him how to slip better and to use more head movement. From sparring Jarad. I learned to capitalize by using my jab backing up, and finishing up my combinations by punching out of my combinations.”

Considered by many to be the future face of American heavyweights, the 24-year-old Anderson is world rated across the board: WBO #4, IBF #5, WBC #6, The Ring #7 and WBA #13.

“I have better confidence after sparring with him,” Taylor noted. “No way he’s losing. I learned from him to keep cool, throw my jab, and everything that I’ve learned in the gym really works. I was super sore but remained calm at all times in the ring. I love to learn and I’m going to continue to take advantage of these sparring camp opportunities.”

In addition to Anderson, Taylor has sparred Filip Hrgovic, Jarrell Miller, Brandon Glanton and Otto Wallin.

“Pryce has had a very busy few months.” Taylor’s manager NYC-lawyer Keith Sullivan commented. “He turned pro in December, is 4-0, competed a full season in the TCL league and made time to partake in some great camps. Sparring with Jared is an invaluable experience that will serve him well in his upcoming fight in six weeks. I’ll be looking to see a more aggressive, slicker Pryce on September 7th in New York City”.

Taylor (R) met 2016 Olympic gold medalist and reigning WBC Lightweight World Champion Shakur Stevenson, a close friend and former Team USA teammate of Anderson

A decorated U.S. amateur boxer, highlighted by his two New York Golden Gloves Championship titles, Taylor was also a four-time runner-up in USA National Championships, including one to Joshua Edwards, who is representing the U.S. as a super heavyweight for Team USA in the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris. Taylor also played basketball for one season at Corning Community College in upstate New York.

Taylor used the week of camp sparring with Anderson to better prepare him for his next fight, September 7th against Lemir Isom Riley (4-2, 2 KOs), at Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York. It will be Taylor’s first scheduled six-round bout.

After recently finishing his second season as a member of the NYC Attitude in the Team Combat League (TLC), Taylor was just informed that he has been selected as a TCL All-Star.

NEW YORK CITY (April 30, 2024) – Undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (3-0, 2 KOs) is looking forward to fighting May11th at the Tropicana Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The 6’ 4”, 27-year-old Taylor is matched against Lawrence King, Jr. (2-1, 1 KO), of Rochester (NY), in a four-round bout on a card presented by Boxing Insider Promotions (BIP).

“Atlantic City loves a strong heavyweight,” BIP promoter Larry Goldberg said. “Pryce Taylor is a future star in the heavyweight division. Boxing Insider Promotions is excited to work with Pryce a second time and to feature him May 11 at Tropicana Atlantic City.”

Taylor has family roots in New Jersey, and he’s confident in having a lot of support fighting in Atlantic City.

“My dad was born in Cape May, which is only an hour away from Atlantic City, and I have relatives all over that area,” Taylor explained. “My grandmother had 13 kids and I have a lot of aunts, uncles and cousins coming to my fight.”

In his most recent fight, Taylor went the four-round distance for the first time as a pro, albeit a “shutout” performance, winning each round on all three judges’ scorecards this past March 7^th versus Antonio Torres (4-1).

“I’m learning all the time and in my last fight I learned that it’s hard to stop guys who really don’t want to fight,” Taylor noted. “When you hit as hard as I do, opponents start covering up as soon as they get hit. As long as the outcome in the end is a win, my dream of becoming heavyweight champion of the world remains alive.”

A decorated U.S. amateur boxer, highlighted by his two New York Golden Gloves Championship titles, Taylor was also a four-time runner-up in USA National Championships, including one to super heavyweight Joshua Edwards, who has qualified to represent Team USA in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Taylor has only been working with his manager, NYC-based lawyer Keith Sullivan, for five months. Sullivan, who is a former Deputy Commissioner for the New York State Athletic Commission, has scheduled him for five pro fights during that relatively short period, which is an exceptionally impressive pace in today’s modern era. One fight was canceled due to the opponent failing an eye exam at the weigh-in and Sullivan spent hours working the phone trying to secure a last-minute replacement to no avail.

Sullivan and Pryce adopt the old-school mentality that a fighter needs ring experience and to be kept active if they are going to be a world champion. “I always tell my fighters to exclusively focus on the fight in front of them, and just know that I am working on the two behind that,” Sullivan explained. “Pyrce is developing impressively and I’m making sure he is pushed at the right pace, but not to his detriment. He has world-title power and size, and I am putting him in position for the right opportunities.”

Last year, Taylor had seven wins fighting for New York in the Team Combat League (TCL), which is a one-round, team format competition. Technically-speaking, the wins are not part of his professional boxing record, but Pryce has benefited from that experience, and he is competing again this season for NYC Attitude.

Taylor played basketball for one season at Corning Community College in upstate New York, and now is gradually making a name for himself in pro boxing circles.

NEW YORK CITY (March 19, 2024) – Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor (3-0, 2 KOs) has successfully transitioned from basketball to boxing and today the 27-year-old prospect is on the rise as an undefeated prize fighter.

Taylor said he brought his legs from the courts into the ring. He first dunked a ball when he was in eighth grade, four inches shorter than the 6’ 4” Taylor is today. Pryce admits missing basketball but quickly notes that he could still play, not necessarily on a team, because he’s not in basketball shape anymore. “I’m in boxing shape,” he proudly noted.

A decorated U.S. amateur boxer, highlighted by his two New York Golden Gloves Championship titles, Taylor was also a four-time runner-up in USA National Championships, including one to Joshua Edwards, who has qualified to represent as a super heavyweight for Team USA in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Last year, Taylor had seven wins fighting for New York in the Team Combat League (TCL), which is a one-round, team format competition. Technically-speaking, the wins are not part of his professional boxing record. Taylor has benefited from that experience and will be competing this season as well.

Taylor played basketball for one season at Corning Community College in upstate New York. “I stopped playing basketball six years ago,” Taylor said. “I’ve had 60 fights (amateurs, pros and TCL) and believe the best boxers get there with sparring experience. So, I’ve been getting a lot of experience. I have a good skill set and know what I need to do in the ring.

“My mindset is to do what other boxers don’t do. All boxers learn the basics, but everything they want to throw, I already throw myself, and I know how to counter there’s. Anything they throw I’m able to defend.”

Taylor has been placed on the fast track by his manager, New York City-based attorney Keith Sullivan, who has discovered that it’s not easy finding suitable opponents for Taylor, who because of his size, amateur pedigree and participating in the TCL, is much more advanced than his three pro fights may indicate.

Another invaluable part of Taylor’s development is sparring established heavyweights such as Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller, Otto Wallin, Vladyslav Sirenko, and Brandon Glanton to name a few of the more notables.

Taylor made his pro debut last December, stopping Mike Diorio in the opening round, followed January 27 with the exact same result versus Gabriel Aguilar Costa. In his most recent action in March, Taylor went the distance for the first time as a pro, pitching a four-round shutout for a unanimous decision against Antonio Torres (4-1), 40-36 three times.

In his last fight, held at Sony Hall, Taylor came out to the ring and paraded around the ring afterwards with an Irish flag draped around his massive shoulders (see above picture).

“Keith (Sullivan) knew there would be a lot of Irish fans there to watch an Irish fighter (Emmet Brennan) fighting after me,” Taylor explained. “He figured it was a good way to engage the large Irish crowd, so he draped me in the Irish tri-color flag. He was right, the Irish in attendance absolutely loved it, and I made some more fans.”

Basketball loss is boxing’s gain; Pryce Taylor is a legitimate prospect with tremendous upside.

In addition to managing Pryce Taylor, Keith Sullivan, a former Deputy Commissioner with the New York State Athletic Commission, and longtime boxing lawyer, also manages IBF Bantamweight World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOs) and Bronx middleweight prospect Nisa Rodriguez (1-0), in addition to co-managing World Boxing Association (WBA) No. 12-rated welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (13-0, 10 KOs), the reigning WBA Continental Champion from Limerick, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee.

NEW YORK, NY – (February 22, 2024) — Sony Hall in Times Square has become the place to go for pro boxing in the greatest city in the world. BoxingInsider Promotions has been delivering at that location – eight times in their first 14 months, in fact – and they’re looking to do it again on Thursday, March 7 (with a 7:30 PM start time) streamed live on BoxingInsider.com.

There’s an action-packed show on tap at the intimate venue, with a lot of local flavor.

Larry Goldberg of BoxingInsider has committed himself to providing a launching pad for the next generation of great local fighters in a city that is famous for its boxing history. He is keeping boxing very much alive in Manhattan. And he has some intriguing match-ups lined up for the March 7th show.

* A Gleason’s Gym standout, featherweight Ariel Lopez (20-1-1), is fighting Gregorio Lebron (24-6) in what promises to be an action packed eight-round main event. Lopez, originally from Mexico and now fighting out of Brooklyn, won the WBC Latino title at 122 pounds in February 2022, winning a decision over Wilner Soto. Lebron, a native of the Dominican Republic, fought for the WBC world flyweight crown in 2018, traveling to Kiev (Ukraine) in an unsuccessful attempt against Artem Dalakian. Ariel Lopez will be defending his WBC Latin Continental title.

 * In a highly anticipated female co-feature, Brooklyn featherweight Chiara “Speedy” Dituri (7-0), who also trains at Gleason’s, takes on Jaica Pavilus (3-6-1) of Harlem. The well-traveled Pavilus, a rough-and-tumble southpaw, will be facing her sixth undefeated opponent in a seven-bout stretch. It should be noted that she has two wins and a draw against those unbeaten foes. So Dituri is in for a battle.

* Light heavyweight Emmet Brennan (2-0) hails from Dublin, where he represented Ireland in the Tokyo Olympics as a light heavyweight and former Celtic Champion. He’s making his US debut against Devaun Lee (11-10-1) of Queens in an eight-round match.

* Heavyweight Pryce Taylor (2-0) of Brooklyn, a two-time finalist in the US Championships as an amateur who has fought nine times in Team Combat League, will compete in front of hometown fans in a four-rounder against the 2-time veteran TCL veteran Kenyon Walker (1-0) of San Antonio, TX in a four-round match.

?More bouts will be added. Stay tuned for subsequent announcements.

Tickets are priced at $95, $150, $200 and $325, and are available at Ticketweb (https:// www.ticketweb.com/event/boxing-insider-live-professional-boxing-sony-hall-tickets/ 13430053). Sony Hall is located at 235 W 46th Street in Manhattan.

NEW YORK CITY (January 30, 2024) – Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor (2-0, 2 KOs), coming off of another first-round stoppage, wants to make it clear that he, “Just wants to fight!”

The 27-year-old Taylor has been placed on the fast track by his manager, New York City-based lawyer, Keith Sullivan.

“I plan on this being a busy year for Pryce,” Sullivan commented. “He has a lot of potential but needs the ring experience. Beyond his impressive size and easy demeanor, he is uniquely special. I know that if we develop him in the right way, he’ll showcase greatness one day.”

Taylor had an auspicious pro debut on December 1^st, knocking out Mike Diorio in the opening round at Melrose Ballroom in Queens. The 6’ 4”, 270-pound Taylor was supposed to come right back two weeks later on a show promoted by Boxing Insider Promotions at Sony Hall in New York City’s Times Square. Unfortunately, Taylor’s opponent failed two eye exams at the weigh-in and the fight was canceled because it was too late to find an approved replacement.

“It happened to me in the amateurs,” Taylor explained, “so I know that’s part of boxing. I was disappointed but Keith told me to keep training and that he’d get me a fight as soon as possible. I want to be in as many fights as possible this year.”

Because there were few shows in New York during the holidays, Sullivan had to go out of New York to place Taylor on a show, presented by RDT Promotions, this past Saturday at Harrah’s Philadelphia in Chester, Pennsylvania. Pryce stopped Gabriel Aguillar Costa at the 56-second mark of round one.

The Costa fight ended with a straight uppercut to the left side of Costa’s body. “He came out throwing punches,” Pyrce explained, “but I stayed calm, and I could tell by the way he looked after I landed that body shot, I knew it was over.

“It was my first time fighting in Philly. I enjoyed the experience. I got to travel a little and stayed in a hotel for a couple of nights. It was cool. and I made some new fans. Everything else was the same as fighting in New York.”

Taylor expects to have his friends, family and fans back for his next scheduled fight, March 7^th at Sony Hall, on a show put on by Larrry Goldberg’s promotional powerhouse, Boxing Insider. Tickets are on sale now at the box office or through Tayor and Sullivan directly.

A decorated U.S. amateur boxer, highlighted by his two New York Golden Gloves Championship titles, Taylor was also a four-time runner-up in USA National Championships, including one to Joshua Edwards, who has qualified to represent as a super heavyweight for Team USA in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Last year, Taylor had seven wins fighting for New York in the Team Combat League, which is a one-round, team format competition. Technically-speaking, the wins are not part of his professional boxing record. Taylor has benefitted from that experience and will be competing this season as well.
