Harrison said to Sky Sports News “This has been a real competitive camp. I’ve found people that can match David Price and possibly beat David Price. Deontay Wilder. He’s 26-0 with 26 knockouts [actually it’s 25-0, 25 KO’s]. He has a bronze medal at Beijing [2008 Olympics], same as David. That’s the best sparring I can get for David Price. The same height. They’re all 6’4″ to 6’8”, and Deontay Wilder punches like a mule, and he’s fast. And I had four weeks of him, and some days he was catching me with clean shots.

Harrison: I’m going to exploit Price’s weaknesses

Image: Harrison: I'm going to exploit Price's weaknessesBy Scott Gilfoid: 40-year-old Audley Harrison (28-5, 21 KO’s) already knows what British super heavyweight champion David Price’s major weaknesses are and he’s ready to exploit them on October 13th at the Echo Arena, in Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom. Harrison won’t say what those weaknesses are, but it’s pretty clear that he’s referring to Price’s chin.

Harrison said to Frankmaloney.com “He does have weaknesses that haven’t really been exposed. In his amateur days he was exposed a few times and if there’s one thing I could be critical of it’s that he had an opportunity to work those mistakes out. I’m definitely going to be looking to exploit those weaknesses and I believe I’ll be able to.”

David Price vs. Audley Harrison: One of these giant heavyweights will be KO’d on October 13th

by

Image: David Price vs. Audley Harrison: One of these giant heavyweights will be KO'd on October 13thBy Scott Gilfoid: I honestly know which fighter to pick from in the October 13th fight between Audley Harrison (28-5, 21 KO’s) and British heavyweight champion David Price (13-0, 11 KO’s) in their Britain based fight at the Echo Arena, Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom. To begin with, this is a terrible match-up.

The 29-year-old Price seems to be stuck in the B level land and unable to get out of it for some reason and he’s aging quick. Soon Price will be 30, and probably still religiously fighting the same B level fighters that he’s been fighting for the past year.

Fury to David Price: You’re a robot, I’m going to smash you

Image: Fury to David Price: You're a robot, I'm going to smash youBy Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) was getting a lippy the other day on his twitter account aiming some of angry barbs at the fighter that many British boxing fans feel Fury ducked in unbeaten David Price (13-0, 11 KO’s). Fury doesn’t seem to think too much of Price for some reason.

Here’s what Fury had to say about Price: “David Price, you’re getting ko’d very soon, stiff man! You’re a robot, 1-2 right uppercut! You’re getting smashed when the time comes!”

Audley Harrison needs to go for an early KO of David Price

by

By Scott Gilfoid: 40-year-old Audley Harrison (28-5, 21 KO’s) has really nothing to lose on October 13th against British heavyweight champion David Price (13-0, 11 KO’s) in their fight at the Echo Arena, in Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom. Harrison has already reached rock bottom with losses to David Haye, Martin Rogan, Michael Sprott, Dominick Guinn and Danny Williams. Harrison only has one direction he can go and that’s up. Another loss for him won’t drive him down any farther than he already is because he can’t possibly get any lower than he is now.

Haye to Tyson Fury: Why don’t you fight David Price?

Image: Haye to Tyson Fury: Why don't you fight David Price?By William Mackay: In the last couple of days unbeaten former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) has been trying to goad former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) on twitter into accepting a fight with him. Haye hasn’t shown the slightest amount of interest in taking the fight with Fury because he doesn’t see any real big interest there. Finally, yesterday Haye hit a nerve by suggesting to Fury that he go fight unbeaten David Price instead.

Here’s what Haye said to Fury on twitter: “Why don’t you call out David Price for a winner take all fight. He’ll except 100%.”

David Price plans on setting a fast pace against Audley Harrison

Image: David Price plans on setting a fast pace against Audley HarrisonBy Scott Gilfoid: 29-year-old British heavyweight champion David Price (13-0, 11 KO’s) figures that the way to beat 40-year-old Audley Harrison (28-5, 21 KO’s) is to jump on him early and try to blast him out when they fight on October 13th at the Echo Arena, in Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom.

Price said to BoxNation “I feel like I’ll be fitter and fresher, and I want to set a pace which Audley isn’t gonna like. Audley likes to fight at his own pace. I don’t know whether he’s had anyone in front of him who sets the pace like me. And I’m not talking about throwing a million punches.”

David Price: I’d fight Vitali if I got the call tommorow

Image: David Price: I'd fight Vitali if I got the call tommorowBy Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten British heavyweight champion David Price (13-0, 11 KO’s) claims he’d fight WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (45-2, 41 KO’s) if he got the call from him for a fight. However, the 29-year-old Price still says he won’t be ready to fight one of the Klitschkos for another 1 1/2 years. In other words, not until Vitali is likely long retired and the 36-year-old Wladimir Klitschko is almost 38.

Price told Sky Sports News “If I got that call to fight VItali Klitschko tomorrow we’d take it, but it’s not about that. My career is not about the Klitschkos. It’s about doing the right thing at the right time.”

A look at David Price vs Audley Harrison

by

Image: A look at David Price vs Audley HarrisonBy Dan Emicus: In what will be the first defence of his British heavyweight title, Liverool’s David Price [13-0 – 11 KOs] meets Audley “A Force” Harrison [28-5 – 21 KOs] in his biggest test to date on October 13th. Even at 40 years old, Harrison, a one-time world prospect earlier in his own career, has more to offer Price than a mere stepping stone towards the acquisition of a Lonsdale belt.

For the first time in his professional career, Price will have a disadvantage in reach, despite being 3 inches taller than his opponent at 6’8″. He will also face a southpaw stance, something which didn’t seem to cause him any issues against Pavol Polakovic [13-8], a blown-up cruiserweight with just one knockout to his name, but this is a very different proposition. Harrison, in contrast, is a full blown “super-heavyweight”, a fellow Olympic medalist, and possesses a stern left cross which can provide a prompt answer to the chin question which follows every prospect until they are eventually tagged.
