Dereck Chisora and David Price are in talks for an all-British heavyweight showdown, but contrary to some reports the fight is not a done deal just yet. BoxingScene understands that the two fighters are discussing the fight after it was mentioned as a possibility by promoter Frank Warren during an interview with the Daily Mail in March. Although the fight makes sense, contracts have not been signed so it is still in the formative stages at this point.

Price, 19-2 (16), has been fighting under the Sauerland banner since January 2014. The 31-year-old signed with the Germany-based outfit following back-to-back defeats to Tony Thompson in 2013 (TKO 2 and TKO 5 respectively) in a bid to rebuild his career. The popular Liverpudlian has reeled off four wins since then and could see Chisora as a good opponent for his first fight in the U.K. since losing to Thompson.

Chisora fell to 20-5 (13), after losing to Tyson Fury via a 10th-round corner retirement in November. The Londoner needs a win to get back into contention, so a crossroads fight with Price could be a viable option for the 31-year-old.
