odds are 7/1 anyone know anything about his opponent?

I know nothing apart from in the weigh in he looked well out of shape but still kind of tough looking.

If that helps!?

7/1 is great odds for a Price 1st round knockout, no matter who he's fighting. Cheers for the heads up, might stick a bit on that one.

Well he went 12 with the dude Fury has next week...and DP is ultra cautious these days, so unlikely, but Pricey does have a sledgehammer when hes confident & lets go.....

His opponent is strong and rugged but very limited, his only Decent opponent was Hammer and he schooled him.
7/1 is tempting as Price hits much much harder that Hammer

Good spot and worth a small stake

Airich also went the distance with Hammer and he gets knocked out against anyone with half decent power.

And Price's opponent was flattened by Joseph Parker immediately after going the distance with Hammer....right hand too.

First southpaw he's faced since thompson.costa never won outside of his own country.coming off a heavy heavy knockout defeat think bout 5 rounds and price will have him out of there.

oh right, doesn't say much about Fury's "big fight" next week then..but don't blame em for not taking chances with the big payday looming.

Everyone know's the score with Price now, try to hit him on the chin at least once, and see what happens, before you find a nice spot on the canvas, just in case.

I got greedy and stuck £25 on a double at 18/1 - Price to win in round 1 and AA to stop Smith anytime in the fight.

Not bad odds at all, good luck with that one mate.

is the fight on tv anywhere?

On Sky Sports 3 right now...you probably shouldn't tune in, you'd probably have more fun hammering a nail into your own skull

Its on Sky sports 3 right now.

Absolutely pathetic, price is deliberately carrying cost. I hope Costa sparks him!

Over...about 4 rounds too late...

whos next for Price then?

I think Price could have finished it earlier if he wanted to, it almost seems he wants to carry some of his opponents into later rounds so he can experience the later rounds himself.

His next fight needs to be against a higher calibre of heavyweight, I would love to see him in with Chisora, although its a fight that doesnt really make much sense for Del Boy.

Price v Joshua would be a good fun fight while it lasts. Price really has nothing to lose.

Even in his 'prime' I thought Price needed to avoid Chisora like the plague.

So long as Chisora has some ambition left he'll be able to stop Price IMO as he panics under pressure and backs up in straight lines.

And has a glass ear/jaw.

Which is why he panics.

I just think Chisora might be on the decline now, which I hope I am wrong as I am a big fan of Del Boy.

Chisora isnt the biggest puncher in the world and I think it is a fight Price could win if he can land his right hand as Chisora's punch resistance isnt what it used to be.

However it wouldnt make sense for either fighter really as it's not far off being a 50/50 fight and the loser would blow his chance of taking on Anthony Joshua, which we keep getting told by Eddie Hearn is the biggest money fight for British heavyweights.

Price vs. Richard Towers next, for his return to the UK?

i agree about chisora being on the decline and i think price would blast him out early.

Price is like Audley - both tall, athletic, technically good boxers who can punch.

When they are facing an opponent who they know they can beat they look brilliant ( which is why Audley wins Prizefighters), but whenever they face a live opponent then psychologically they are beaten before the fight begins.

As soon as Price faces a live one who can and will hit him back he will fall apart, immediately lose all his energy and will either get sparked or turn his back.
