David Price believes Tyson Fury knew he would lose – Boxing news
One of the most anticipated matches of 2012 Tyson vs. Price is not happening anymore since Tyson has vacated his British and Commonwealth titles to move onto the next level.
The news did not sit well with David Price who was preparing well to face Tyson in the ring. Price lashed out on Tyson calling him a coward. He further went on to say that, Tyson knew that he would beat him in the ring and so he chose the easy way out.
Tyson has remained unbeaten to date and he could see his first defeat against Price, which is the reason why he vacated the titles, according to Price’s camp. The news of Tyson vacating the titles to go onto the next level and fight for the heavyweight title
came in earlier this week. Irked Price says Tyson did not want to lose and that is the reason why he left.
As of now, David Price will be fighting Sam Sexton for the titles vacated by Tyson. Furious Price stated to the media, “I’m disappointed and I’m frustrated because the fight has been brewing for that long and he has had that much to say about me, but when
the time comes he cops out. He is talking about the offers that were made, but he would have got the biggest pay-day by letting the fight go to the purse bids. I was expecting more of Tyson Fury because I thought he was a fighting man, but he’s proved me wrong.
He is a coward, no two ways about it. He says he is moving onto the next level but he has not got enough for the next level.”
Commonwealth’s Simon Block asserted that the British Boxing Board of Control has decided to place a match between Price and Sam Sexton for the vacated titles. He further added that the board has decided to keep this match a championship match because Sexton
is a recognised contender in their list of challengers.
Whether Tyson vacated the titles to avoid fighting Price or he did so for his own personal reasons, Price definitely got furious over it since Tyson had said a lot about him over the media in the recent days. Price was looking forward to the match to show
the world he is the better man, but seems like now he will not get the chance to.
