Sam while sharing his thoughts commented, “He’s worried about this fight as well. He knows he’s never been against anyone with my speed and movement. He knows I'm going to cause him problems.”
The British proud added, “He is a good fighter. He does everything right. He had a good amateur career as well. He’s got a fantastic knock-out ratio - so that's why he's on top and the favourite.”
His opponent David boasts an intimidating and flawless resume. Price, 28, has been in a total 12 bouts and emerged victorious in all. He has lost not even a single bout and has nailed a huge 10 men by knockout.
Price is being dubbed as the favourite at the moment since he is also an Olympic bronze medallist and above all is coming from a huge first round knockout win over John McDermott.
