Although he never met Foreman, Taylor feels a connection with \u201cBig George.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know anything about boxing until I started boxing in 2017,\u201d the former college basketball player Taylor explained. \u201cI 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\u2019m going to do right by him in his name for this fight. He beat people up and I\u2019m going to try as hard as I can to do the same in this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s other opponents to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a great fight,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cHe\u2019s a lefty but I\u2019ve been great against southpaws. I know he\u2019s very aggressive; that\u2019s going to get him hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because this coming weekend celebrates the induction of the International Boxing of Fame\u2019s 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\u2019s boxing event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to show off my skills for all of them,\u201d Taylor added. \u201cIt\u2019s just work, though. Whatever comes will come. I just love doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorge was an icon in the sport,\u201d commented Taylor\u2019s manager, NYC boxing lawyer Keith Sullivan. \u201cPeople have compared Pryce\u2019s size, physique and style to that of \u2018Big George.\u2019 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 \u2018The Pryce is Right\u2019 securing another victory this week in Canastota, New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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 &amp; WBA #10) welterweight contender Paddy \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Donovan (14-1, 11 KOs), from Limerick, Ireland. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan\u2019s head trainer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
