David Price talks about being nasty in the ring – Boxing News
British heavyweight fight sensation David Price believes he might be a nice person outside the ring but once he is fighting, he is a nasty beast. Price, who has become a fight sensation this year with several knockout victories over some of the most successful
fighters, revealed that most people believe him to be a bit too nice in the ring for his own good. The Briton, however, asserts that he knows how to maintain his fights along with being a nice ‘outside’ the ring.
“I've surprised myself with my progress at times. I've expected the fights to be a bit more difficult,” he said.
“It's the punch power which surprises me because in training I know I can punch, but it's when I put the 10oz gloves on, get in the ring and start punching then that it produces results which I didn't think were possible.”
“I have got that nastiness in there. It's something that people always thought I never had. I've heard a lot of people say to me 'you're too nice’.”
Price is coming off a superb win over former champion Audley Harrison recently. Price is now scheduled to defend his British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles against Matt Skelton at Aintree on Friday. It will be yet another for Price, who is considerably
less experienced than his foe.
Price is being considered among the top heavyweights today but many believe he has a lot more to prove in order to get to the level where he can face the champions. Even price admits the fact that he is not in the mood to take on the titans, especially the
Vitali brothers anytime soon. According to Price, he still needs enough time to get through the process and gain enough experience to face the Ukrainian fighters.
For now, Price believes people still do not know him much. According to him, being nice is one thing and being soft is another, and he has clearly stated that he is not soft. For Price, this year has been a mega one, since he has been able to defeat the
best of his division.
