He will face James Evans (9-2-1, 7 KOs) this Sunday in an eight-round bout at Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n<p>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 versus Franchon Crews Dezurn (10-2).<\/p>\n<p>The added exposure Taylor receives fighting on the same card as Shields is invaluable, especially considering the international range of DAZN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy promoter, Dimitry Salita, has a lot of connections in Detroit,\u201d Taylor noted about fighting again in Detroit. \u201cI like fighting and have no complaints about where. Wherever it is, I bring my New York City charisma. Claressa\u2019s Detroit fans are 100-percent behind me and I\u2019ve gained a lot of followers fighting on DAZN cards that she headlines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClaressa is an inspiration for what she has accomplished. We know each other through my coach. He was one of the USA Boxing Team\u2019s 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, &#8220;If I follow her advice, I\u2019ll be faster, and she\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In December, Taylor demonstrated notable progress in his skill set during his latest bout, securing an almost \u201cshutout\u201d 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&#8217;s most promising heavyweights.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old Taylor\u2019s last 2 fights have been 8-rounders, as his match with Evans, and he\u2019s preparing to soon graduate to a 10-round fighter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019m ready for 10-plus rounds and title fights,\u201d Taylor said. I\u2019ve been training to go 12 rounds. My stamina is much better now because of some changes we made in my training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClaressa Shields sets the standard for championship excellence, and fighting on her undercard puts Pryce in front of a global audience,\u201d Taylor\u2019s manager Keith Sullivan commented. \u201cPryce is ready to grab that moment and showcase why is the American heavyweight to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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 (19-1, 19 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and junior featherweight prospect Brooklyn \u201cThe Big Deal\u201d Barwick (4-0, 4 KOs). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Donovan (14-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Welcome To The &quot;Bad&quot;
