Undefeated Brooklyn Heavyweight Prospect Pryce Taylor excited to fight on Claressa Shields card Sunday in Flint

PhilBoxing.com




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.
