A regional heavyweight title is the prize, but the matchup is a real test of two different paths: Pryce Taylor, an unbeaten Brooklyn prospect, against Tsotne Rogava, a heavyweight who has already lost once and come back. They meet over ten rounds for the vacant NABF belt at Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque.
Taylor is 13-0 with eight knockouts, and the fight comes in a busy year: it will be his fourth outing in 2026. His July 11 decision over Issac Muñoz in Puerto Rico gave him ten-round experience, and he said going that distance built his confidence for longer fights. Since then he has changed his strength-and-conditioning team and added calisthenics to build endurance without losing speed. He wants a knockout but says he is ready to adjust and box.
Rogava is 13-1 with eight stoppages. He turned professional after the Tokyo Olympics, where he lost to Frazer Clarke, and opened his pro career with seven straight knockouts. His background includes kickboxing and Muay Thai as well as amateur boxing. At 33, and listed at 196 cm, he is the older man. His only loss, according to the promoter, was a majority decision to Ahmed Krnjic in Riyadh in 2025; he then beat Mauricio Leon Perez on points. Rogava said he has been waiting for a chance to establish himself among leading heavyweights.
The NABF belt is regional, not a world title, and this is not the headline bout. Abraham Perez defends his WBA interim flyweight title against Yankiel Rivera in the main event. Atif Oberlton faces Deon Nicholson in the light heavyweight co-main event, and Sardius Simmons meets Cesar Navarro over eight rounds.
Watch whether Taylor's stamina work shows over ten rounds, and whether Rogava can use his experience and a stoppage record similar to Taylor's to hand the Brooklyn fighter his first loss.
