Another one of England's prospects

Sounds good but only time will tell


David Price



Olympic bronze medallist David Price turns professional - Telegraph

Price , who fights under the Hayemaker banner is a decent prospect and has a decent jab and huge reach and decent power too.
Think he's 6ft 5 or something and has very good amateur pedigree so i'd expect him to be capable of getting himself into the top 10 one day.
As we all know the Pro game is very different so time will tell but the signs are there so fingers crossed.
Seems a nice fella too:cool:

Did he beat Tyson Fury in the Olympic Trials? Think he did :-\

I don't think Fury has had many Am fights though.. 20 or so?

I didn't like the look of Price in the olympics. I think he will have to markedly adapt his style if he's to have success in the pros.

Good signing for Haye's new promotions!Hope he does good,im sure he'll convert into the pro game like a duck to water!;)

same here

seems tailor made for amateur boxing as he likes to pick his shots and take his time.

Someone like tyson fury who may even be not as technically good as david will go further because he seems like he can fight as well as box and wont be afraid to get his hands dirty.

Genuinely think the same things about jeffries and degale, only really see frankie gavin making a big impact at pro.

I think Frankie Gavin has world class written all over him:cool:
Best of the bunch by far and he's brilliant to watch.
Think he may go all the way!

Price is from my hoemtown of Liverpool. A born and bred scouser like myself :cool:

He will go far, he will be sparring with Haye and being trained by Adam Booth. I met him last year and got a signed glove. He is one tall fucker whose height and power will cause most heavyweights problems.

As for that Tyson Fury I bet most of you don't know this but David Price actually knocked him out in 2 rounds at the amateurs. Fury is just all hype.

KO'd him in 2 rounds.

I think they think Gavin will be the bollocks too.

Is it a coincidence the first show for these amateur stars is happening in Birmingham? ;)

How many fights had Fury had? He had hardly any amateur fights overall.

Be a good fight to hype for an early pro career meeting. ;)

Good preparation for David Haye as well when fighting Klitchsko.

A boxing journalist (Nick Peet) in the Liverpol Echo said he won by KO in his column a while ago.

I heard he was heavily outpointed

"I fought David Price three years ago, when I was 17. It was my ninth amateur bout, I knocked him down in the fight, but lost it on points," explained Fury.

Bit different to getting "destroyed" in 2 rounds. And being all hype for losing his 9th amateur bout against a future commonwealth and olympic medalist. ;)

I agree with the above apart from the fact I believe Degale will do well as a pro!

I like David, he made me laugh in the olympics.. when he knocked the guy out in the first round all he kept doing was screaming " YOU BASTARDS " to the crowd. Those scouses... full of it.
