Comments Thread For: Price-Orlov Set For 1/25, Chief Support to Huck-Arslan II

[JakeNDaBox]

David Price continues to remain in the headlines as 2013 winds down. Less than 24 hours after the announcement of a new trainer comes news of his ring return.

The fallen British heavyweight is set to officially kick off the rebuilding tour. The first step is in the form a rescheduled bout with Russian mammoth Evgeny Orlov, which will now take place on January 25 in Stuttgary, Germany.

The bout serves in chief support to the cruiserweight title fight rematch between Marco Huck and Firat Arslan. The title fight comes 14 months after their first encounter, in which Huck retained his belt with a highly disputed unanimous decision win over Arslan, 40 at the time and also a massive underdog heading into the bout.

With the rescheduled showdown versus Orlov (14-12-1, 10KO) comes Price's debut with his new promoter Sauerland Event, who is giving the supporting bout its own main event treatment.

"David Price will face Evgeny Orlos as a co-feature to Huck v Arslan II in Stuttgart on Jan 25," read the announcement on the verified Twitter feed of Kalle and Nisse Sauerland. "(Limited tickets are) available via eventim.de. We will also be arranging ticket and hotel packages with special David Price fan rates - if interested, please (email) info@spagsports.com."

its nice that Huck rematches controversial decisions but he seriously needs to unify already i know IBF is a no no cuz Pablo is Sauerland but it'll be nice if he got it on with WBC champ krzysztof wlodarczyk

Huck is running scared of Wlod for years now, He has been calling him out numerous times. Im glad Arslan is getting another shot, he clearly won the first fight.

I actually scored it for Huck. But, I do think it was a very close fight. I'll have to rewatch it. I like Huck a ton. He's a good champion to me. In fact, I think the cruiserweight division is the most underrated in all of boxing. I like all the champions.

orlov should be no trouble for price.

[knockoutkid]

price is clueless, he needs to move himself to his trainer not have his trainer come to him

I think Price will come back with a good year in 2014 and by year's end, be rated once again as a top heavyweight contender.
