BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH Heavyweight Champion David Price is set to face experienced Russian Evgeny Orlov as he looks to re-build his career with his new promoters Sauerland.

 

Price, 30, suffered back-to-back defeats against American veteran Tony Thompson in 2013 having previously strung together 15 wins without a loss. Many tipped Price to be British boxing's next big heavyweight, but now he has it all to prove against the 6ft 9in monster Orlov on the undercard of Juergen Braehmer's vacant WBA World Light-Heavyweight title bout against Marcus Oliveira.

 

We'll bring you all the action LIVE and EXCLUSIVE on BoxNation as David Price (below) returns after six months out of the ring.

Speaking about his first fight under the Sauerland banner, the 6ft 8in Scouser said: "I am excited to be starting this new chapter in my career.

 

"My training with Adam [Booth] has been going really well. We have made some changes in the gym and been working on a few different things for this fight. Come fight night people will see these changes in my performance.

 

"My opponent, Orlov, is a tough guy so I am not taking anything for granted, but I have seen him in training camps and watched him fight so I know what I need to do to beat him."
