Brooklyn Heavyweight Prospect Pryce Taylor learned invaluable lessons sparring Jared Anderson

PhilBoxing.com




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”.

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.
