David Price aiming for Anthony Joshua fight

British heavyweight David Price believes that a fight between himself and Anthony Joshua would "sell itself" if it were made later in the year.

Price faces Irineu Beato Costa Junior on February 21 as he looks to rebuild his reputation after losing to Tony Thompson, but while he has acknowledged that he needs to keep winning, the Liverpudlian admits that he has got his eye on a meeting with Joshua.

The 31-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It is a fight that has been mentioned. He is looking the part, he is doing everything right. The good thing is that he is an Olympic gold medallist and I am an Olympic medallist and that fight sells itself. Two big punchers.

"He is 6'6" and I am 6'8". It has got the recipe for a brilliant fight and it's a fight that I would love to be involved in."

Price spent the second half of 2014 on the sidelines after surgery on his hand.
