Undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor closing out a strong 2026 PhilBoxing.com Tue, 02 Dec 2025  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 20th, 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.  |
