Undercard Highlights
Derek Chisora vs David Price is a delightful domestic ding-dong. Chisora applies pressure, is strong and tough, and David is a big-punching giant that pulled off a boxing masterclass against the 'White Rhino' Dave Allen last time out. Pricey, however, is susceptible to a big punch and Del Boy scored an impressive stoppage in his last outing.
