Welsh star Jamie Arthur bids for title glory and Olympic bronze medallist David
Price continues his road to the top on Frank Maloney’s next knockout show.
The talented pair both box on the promoter’s bumper bill at The Troxy, London,
E1 on Saturday October 16 that is televised live on Sky Sports.
Arthur (17-4) is lined up to challenge Scotland's Kris Hughes (12-0) for the
vacant Commonwealth super-bantamweight title.
In an exciting top of the bill battle Chislehurst’s Sam Webb (16-1) makes the
first defence of his British light-middleweight title against Martin Concepcion
(17-7).
A special attraction features Malmesbury’s ABA light-welterweight champion Joe
Hughes, who makes his professional debut in a six round contest.
Price, 27, will have his fourth fight of 2010 when he faces a selected opponent
in a heavyweight six rounder.
Maloney believes Price (7-0) is destined for world title glory, and the 6ft 8in
Liverpool puncher hopes to be chasing major titles inside 12 months.
He said: “Once you move into championship class you only really fight two or
three times a year and right now that’s not what I need.
“I need to be busy, and after about 12 fights that is when I will be ready to
challenge for the British title.
“The back end of 2011, that’s when I will be looking to move into British title
level, and moving on from there.”
Other fighters on the undercard of the top class show include Maloney’s other
heavyweight prospects Tom Dallas (11-0) and Larry Olubamiwo (9-1).
The card also features former British flyweight title challenger Ashley Sexton
(9-0-1), Martin Welsh (7-0) and Lewis Pettit (2-0).
