American heavyweight Tony Thompson has praised David Price for the way that he has reacted to defeat.
The Liverpool fighter has sought the advice of Lennox Lewis in the build-up to his rematch with the 41-year-old, who knocked him out in the second round of their original engagement in February.
"It isn't respect for me that he went to work with Lennox, but [it] shows how seriously he takes his career," Sky Sports News quotes Thompson as saying. "He will be getting great information from Lennox because he is an all-time great and knows the game.
"Sometimes you get your career to a certain level and you just can't receive information and don't even want to listen to a world champion.
"You think you know it all. You get beat and instead of changing things you go back with the same flaws. He is showing a willingness and that is a credit to David."
The rematch takes place at the Echo Arena on July 6.
