David Price eyes Dereck Chisora fight

Price eyes Chisora fight

British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price believes that Dereck Chisora is his "logical next opponent".

Chisora is currently without a British boxing licence after a brawl with David Haye at a press conference in Munich, but Price believes that Chisora would represent his toughest challenge to date.

Price told BBC Sport: "He is the logical next opponent to defend my British title against because I think Dereck would take the fight at British level.

"It would be a win-win fight because it would be a step up in class for me and the chance to win the British Lonsdale belt outright if, all being well, I beat Matt Skelton.

"It's the logical next step, without a doubt, but it's a fight that would have to be under the British Boxing Board of Control regulations because I want to win that Lonsdale belt for keeps."

Price goes up against Skelton on Friday night.
