Fight takes place at Belfast's Titanic Exhibition Centre.

He admits that he took a pass on a potential fight with rising heavyweight Sergey Kuzmin on the Joshua-Povetkin card - to admittedly take an easier fight with Turner (12-3, 8 KOs), who is coming off a knockout loss to Nathan Gorman.

How many rounds?

10 might be worth some in play betting.

Price KO. Turner is game but he's never in shape.

Who else is on the card mate?

That's a good option after another KO loss. Now Price himself is likely to win by KO.

Must be some local fighters on surely. Seems strange to announce this fight and no others yet.

I really hope Sean hits the gym hard before this one. His shape last time out was embarrassing. Almost needed a bra.

Easy blast out for price

would like to see price at domestic level for a bit, rather then his usual quick jump back to euro/world level after no meaningful fights before vs career losers

Geraghty-McCullough, Ward Added

Declan Geraghty will meet Marco McCullough in his next fight.

The Dubliner is set to come up against the Belfast man in a few weeks’ time.

The pair have been pitted together on MTK Global’s next card in Belfast on October 5.

Geraghty had told Boxing Scene, prior to the announcement of his fight against McCullough, that he was set to return in England on the last weekend in October.

But Geraghty, returning from a ninth-round stoppage defeat against former nemesis Jono Carroll in their rematch back in June, will instead face the 28-year-old former British featherweight title challenger in a super-featherweight showdown at the Titanic Exhibition Centre, exclusively live on allegedly.

The card will be the second of MTK’s 12-date broadcasting deal with the boxing-only channel and will be topped by David Price’s return.

The former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion has been out of action since March.

I’d like to see Price try for a shot at the Brit title. I think he’s one win away from winning the Lonsdale belt outright.
If he faced Hughie Fury, would he stand a chance? I could see Fury doing his “shades of Ali” for 5 /6 rounds until Price gassed, and then stopping him.

I would really like to see Price win the belt outright though.

Don’t you have to make 3 successive defences?

Yes and he has made 2, if he was to win it then he'd keep it..

Price should do it by ko

Yeh I was under the same impression that he would win it outright next challenge but somebody mentioned it would have to be a mandatory for Price to win it outright.

So id guess Hughie will be vacating soon and Dave Allen just won an eliminator so if Price boxed Allen for the vacant belt then he wouldnt win it outright?

Confusing.

Yes and he has made 2, if he was to win it then he'd keep it..

But what I said was 3 successive defences after winning it?

But with what you’re saying is, he’d have to win it again and just defend it once more?

In simple terms boxers need to win four British title fights at the same weight to win the belt outright. They don’t have to be consecutive fights, one after the other. I don’t know about the finer points regarding mandatory defences or voluntary defences though.

This RKO...

Only 1 Defence has to be a mandatory.

would prefer the big guy to try that route. he can still have a winning career...doesnt always need to be the guy getting stopped at euro/world level..although even there hes had his moments.

Price in 1 or 2.

Thanks for the clear up.

After the bad KOs he's had its a shame to see him still fighting really. Perhaps he just needs the money. I don't otherwise see where Price's career really goes from here.

He has the option to continuously fight some low level opposition and just knock them out, which people will soon get bored of, or step up again and get poleaxed.
