Olympic bronze medal winner David Price has promised to do a lot of damage on Kash Ali for his recent comments.

The two heavyweight will collide on Saturday night, on the undercard of the Liam Smith-Sam Eggington bill at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena.

Ali labeled Price as a quitter and promised to knock him out cold when they face each other in the ring.

The two fighters, usually soft spoken, were trading some very harsh words throughout the last few media functions.

Price explained that he verbally erupted because won't allow Ali to label him as a quitter.

And because of those words the popular Liverpool boxer is gunning for a knockout.

"I won't stand for that," Price told Sky Sports. "I quite enjoyed the back and forth, people say it's about time I did something like that but I haven't had to because everyone been pretty much respectful.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's a gentleman's sport and something just triggered me yesterday and I thought I won't stand for that. It doesn't matter what he's going to do, I've just got to go in there and do what I need to do.

"I think I will knock him out, I think I will knock him out but it won't be early, if it is it will be a surprise because I know he can be quite cagey."

Ali, a former sparring partner of Price, is confident that his unbeaten record will remain in place. He feels confident in his ability to knock Price out.

"I'm 100 percent confident, I'm ready for this, I've been training hard and it's my time to shine," Ali said.

"When I sparred him I was not as good as I am now. He's the same as he's always been. I'm taking nothing from the spar. I just know, I've come to fight and I'm ready for this. It might not go that far, I might just knock him out early. I'm going to come out victorious, my hand will be raised at the end."
