Eric Molina: If No David Price - Bring on David Haye Showdown!

By Edward Chaykovsky

Heavyweight contender Eric Molina (25-3, 19KOs) is ready for the biggest fight possible and is looking to travel over to the UK face either David Haye and David Price.

Molina gave WBC world champion Deontay Wilder all he could handle last year. He stunned Wilder, but the champion battled back and stopped him in the ninth round of their June 2015 battle.

Molina has been out of the ring since traveling over to Poland and knocking out former two division champion Tomasz Adamek in April.

Price's trainer Dave Coldwell recently mentioned Molina as a possible opponent for November, as part of the undercard to Anthony Joshua's ring return. Molina is ready to accept that challenge with open arms. If Price (20-3, 17KOs), an Olympic bronze medal winner, turns his back on the option - Molina wants Haye (28-2, 26KOs).

Haye is planning to fight again in the fall. He was due to face former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs, but now there is no word on the fight actually happening and Briggs is claiming that Haye continues to drag his feet when it comes to signing the contract.

Molina told Sky Sports: "David Coldwell has came out publicly and said he is interested in a fight with me and Price for some time in November on the Joshua undercard. I think the fight makes for a great exciting slugfest.

"These are the types of fights the division needs. I'm tired of some of these contenders out there calling out Joshua, Fury and Wilder. If you aren't a mandatory, earn your ticket. I'm not calling anybody's name out. However, if the world thinks I am not ready for another world title challenge, then I am willing to fight anybody to earn my ticket and prove myself. David Price needs to leave these guys' names out of his mouth and earn his ticket.

"I'm not going to lie; the fight is a hell of a risk for both parties, but these are the risks involved in the game. I have a huge amount of respect for Price and it's nothing personal. To fight in front of the great boxing fans of the UK has always been a dream of mine. I know the UK fans can appreciate the type of fight I would bring to their land.

"If Price isn't serious, bring me Haye! Haye needs to step up also. The heavyweight division in the USA is currently stagnant. I am 'passport ready' to face the best around the world."
