Dan Rafael of espn.com is reporting that an all British heavyweight fight between David Price and Audley Harrison will take place on October 13th in Liverpool, England
“Audley was an inspiration to me when I was younger, someone our amateur squad always looked up to,” Price said at Monday’s news conference in London, which Harrison did not attend, to announce the fight. “(Harrison) called me before Beijing to offer advice, which I’m grateful for, but he’s still getting flattened.”
“I’m happy that the public will get the opportunity to see the next phase of my career develop on BoxNation,” he said. “Frank has sorted out the business outside of the ring for me, and I’ll continue what I do best inside the ring by continuing to win fights and titles that will culminate in the ultimate prize — the world heavyweight crown.
“The next step is Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Liverpool Echo Arena against Audley Harrison, and I look forward to putting on a great show for the BoxNation viewers and fans in attendance.”
“I’m looking forward to joining the new home of TV boxing, BoxNation, to develop who I believe is the most exciting heavyweight talent since Lennox Lewis,” said promoter Frank Maloney. “It will be a battle of the Olympians when he clashes with Harrison in his first fight for BoxNation and a fight he’s looking to make a big statement.”
