By Jeff Aranow: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn is interested in potentially making a huge heavyweight triple-header on November 26, with IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev (23-1, 12 KOs) headlining at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium in late November or December. Also on the card, British heavyweights Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora is in play. A match between heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker is another one of the fights for the card. Discussions are being held for the fights, and it would be a pretty big deal if the card comes off.

Parker, 24, is Joshua’s IBF mandatory challenger, but Hearn will likely wait until early 2017 before he puts the fight together between them. In the meantime, Parker can get some valuable air time on Sky Box Office if he fights the 6’8” Price on the undercard of the Joshua-Pulev card. Price, 33, wants a title shot against Joshua, and if he can beat Parker, he would earn the fight.

Eric Molina wants Price or David Haye

By Scott Gilfoid: #11 WBC heavyweight contender Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) is interested in facing either David Price (20-3, 17 KOs) or David Haye (28-2, 26 KOs) in November in order to get a title shot against International Boxing Federation heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Prices trainer Dave Coldwell said recently that he was interested in matching the 33-year-old Price against Molina in November. Whether he was serious or not is the important question. Molina, 34, is a real talent with excellent punching power and good size. For Price to go from beating the likes Vaclav Pejsar in his last match to facing Molina in November would be a monstrous leap up in competition for the struggling heavyweight.

Price wants Parker, Breazeale or Molina for Joshua card

By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight David Price (20-3, 17 KOs) and his trainer Dave Coldwell are highly ambitious for the Anthony Joshua undercard on November 26 in wanting the likes of Joseph Parker, Dominic Breazeale (17-1, 15 KOs) or Eric Molina as an opponent.

Price, 33, is hoping that with a win over one of the above mentioned fighters, he’ll be able to get a title shot against Joshua. However, it might take a win over someone better than Breazeale or Molina for the 6’8” Price to get a shot against Joshua.

It’s not as if Breazeale and Molina have been getting great results with their careers lately. If Price could beat the young 24-year-old Joseph Parker on November 26, it would be a HUGE win for him, and obviously that would open the door for a title shot against Joshua.

By Scott Gilfoid: If Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn gets his way, British heavyweight David Price (20-3, 17 KOs) will be fighting on the undercard of International Boxing Federation heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s next fight in November in a final eliminator bout against Joseph Parker.

Price, 33, is very interested in fighting Joshua in November. Hearn says he wants Price to get a big win in a break through fight for him to earn the fight against Joshua. Hearn wants Joshua to be fighting only credible opponents right now for his next fight, and he’s looking at one of the three following opponents for that fight: Bermane Stiverne, Kubrat Pulev and Joseph Parker.

David Allen wants David Price on October 15

by

price462

By Scott Gilfoid: Domestic level heavyweight David Allen (9-1-1, 6 KOs) is hoping to lure former British/Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price (20-3, 17 KOs) to fight him on October 15 on the undercard of the Tony Bellew vs. BJ Flores card at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK. Price, 33, is already scheduled to fight on the Bellew-Flores card on that date, but he still doesn’t have an opponent scheduled.

The 24-year-old hard hitting Allen would like nothing better than to be the guy that faces the 6’8” Price on the October 15 card, because he believes he can knock him out him and ruin his dreams of fighting IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Price has recently started making a play to be the opponent for Joshua in November. Allen doesn’t think Price deserves a title shot against Joshua. He thinks Price is just looking to cash out with a big payday, because he doesn’t see him as having the heart for boxing.

David Price’s trainer says they want Joshua fight for November

by

price667

By Scott Gilfoid: Trainer Dave Coldwell says his fighter David Price (20-3, 17 KOs) is willing to take the fight with IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. They’re ready and more than willing to accept that fight. Price revealed recently that he had toppled Joshua during a sparring session in the past five years ago.

Coldwell likes the aggressiveness that Price showed in revealing that information, which is usually something that’s not shared by fighters in discussing their sparring with different guys. Price opted to break a taboo by revealing what happened during the sparring session with Joshua in 2011.

Some would say that this is a sign of the 33-year-old Price being desperate to get the fight against Joshua. It does seem kind of weird that Price is flapping his gums about the past right now with him been recently knocked out by Erkan Teper in two rounds last year.

David Price brags about knocking out Joshua

by

price1

by Scott Gilfoid: David Price appears to want a world title shot against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in the worst way. Price (20-3, 17 KOs) wants the title shot so much that he’s bringing up an old sparring session from 2011 in which he says he knocked Joshua out. I suppose thinking process is if Price talks to the media enough about the sparring episode, it could lead to Joshua giving him a title shot.

I’m not sure if Price’s bragging about the sparring session will lead to him getting the fight with Joshua though, because it’s not just about trying to get the 26-year-old former 2012 Olympic gold medalist worked up enough to want to give him the fight.

Adrian Granat wants Hughie, Price and Whyte

By Scott Gilfoid: Adrian Granat is one of those new generation heavyweights with amazing size at 6’7 ½” and incredible punching power in his right hand. The 25-year-old Granat (13-0, 12 KOs) has targeted several of the UK heavyweights that he wants to bag to add to his collection of names on his growing resume of knockout victims.

David Price vs. Eric Molina possible for November

By Scott Gilfoid: In a move that reeks of desperation, Kalle Sauerland, the promoter for #11 WBO heavyweight contender David Price (20-3, 17 KOs), intends on taking a HUGE risk with the fragile-chinned 33-year-old Price by putting him in with the talented American knockout artist Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) in November on the undercard of IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s next fight at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Sauerland figures that if the 6’8” Price wins that fight, he’ll be in the heavyweight mix for a title shot against Joshua. To be sure, the risk could in theory pay off for Price if he can get the hard hitting 6’4” Molina out of there before he gets his high powered offense cranked up. Once Molina’s offense is firing on all eight cylinders like it was in the 10th round of his last fight against former two division world champion Tomasz Adamek last April, I don’t see Price lasting long.

Eric Molina wants David Price for October

By Scott Gilfoid: Former heavyweight world title challenger Eric “Drummer Boy” Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) has issued a challenge to #11 WBO, #12 IBF David Price (20-3, 17 KOs) to face him in October in a fight that he wants to take place in the UK or Poland.

Molina, 34, says he doesn’t want the fight to take place in his home country of the U.S, as he would prefer to do the fight in Europe if the 33-year-old Price and his promoters at Sauerland Events accept the offer.

It would be a big risk for the 6’8” Price, because he looked of shaky in his last fight against Vaclav Pejsar last May in Liverpool, UK. Price was nailed a number of times with clean right hands to the jaw by the little known 3rd tier fighter Pejsar. But what was most of troubling of all was the way Price retreated to the ropes and covered up after getting tagged by a big right hand from Pejsar.
