This Saturday questions will be answered as will it be repeat or revenge when Tony Thompson takes on David Price in a rematch of Thompson’s shocking second round knockout of Price that took place on February 23 in the same Echo Arena ring in Liverpool where Saturday’s bout will take place.
Like the first bout, the fight will be televised live on Wealth TV.
Price (15-1, 13 KO’s) recently sat down with Frank Stea of ATG Radio and discussed the changes he needed to make in
order to make Saturday’s result a whole different ballgame.
“I got complacent. I thought I would win the fight before I ever got in the ring”, said a humble Price “I am not going to go in there over confident this time. I do believe in myself and that’s why I took the rematch straight away”
Price has enlisted the services of former Heavyweight champion and legend Lennox Lewis to help prepare himself for this very important fight.
Price said that even before the first fight with Thompson, he and trainer Franny Smith would seek outside help and Price could not have found a better mentor then the Hall of Famer.
“Lennox has stepped up my game massively. He really pushes me to another level. Lennox appeared and this could have not worked out any better,” said Price
The Price vs. Thompson rematch will have huge implications as Thompson is looking for a third title shot while Price is looking to get back on track and position himself for a chance at Heavyweight glory.
The show will also feature a battle for the British Flyweight title between two undefeated fighters, Kevin Satchell and Iain Butcher.
