Pryce, Small: Friends Online, Enemies in The Ring
By Terence Dooley
Bradley Pryce, 28, handed Anthony Small his sole professional defeat back in 2007, a seventh round stoppage win, but has since added the Londoner to his small army of Facebook pals. However, Pryce, who fights under the Calzaghe promotional banner, has revealed that he would put friendship to one side in order to hand Small a second defeat.
Pryce told Walesonline that he is itching for a fight with Small, who annexed the Commonwealth and British titles with a win over Matthew Hall last month. “One win will take me straight into the Small fight – the Board would have to make me No 1 challenger,” Pryce claimed.
“I’m the only guy to beat Small. He’s told his fans he’s the best in Britain, but I’m the guy on his record who says otherwise,” he continued. “We’re friends on Facebook and there’s a lot of comments on his wall from his fans saying they want him against me – Price -Small II. I definitely want it, but does he want it? That’s the question. He has got an excellent record, but he needs to avenge that loss. He has the titles maybe, but he hasn’t beaten everyone he needs to beat.”
Small-Pryce II would, indeed, be a big domestic tussle, Pryce, though, must first prove that he has something left to offer, he makes his return to the ring on August the 21st, he is taking on Michael Monaghan in Newport, Wales, Pryce’s first fight on home soil since his 2007 win over Thomas Awinbono.
