DAVID PRICE speaks exclusively to Chris Walker about his controversial setbacks against Tony Thompson and Erkan Teper, in this week’s issue of Boxing News magazine. This is out now on our app and the print version is in stores on Thursday (March 17). Here is an excerpt.

“Being honest, the jump to Tony Thompson was probably a little bit too far,” Price reflects to Boxing News about his first loss, a two-round stoppage, in February 2013. “Seven months earlier he was fighting Wladimir Klitschko for the world title and now I had to go in there against him. There was no doubt I was getting moved quick and I was okay with it at the time because the momentum I’d built up made me feel like I could beat anyone, but I was caught and that was that.”
