    Tyson Fury has called out heavyweight rival David Price to face him in an all-British showdown in Bethnal Green this month.
    Unbeaten heavyweight Fury wants to fight Olympic bronze medallist Price when he steps through the ropes for his fifth professional fight in Bethnal Green on April 11.
    No opponent has signed up to face Fury as yet, and he wants Price to step up to the plate and make a quick reappearance after his debut to settle the score.
    Price made a winning pro debut last weekend by beating Dave Ingleby and has already said he fancies facing Fury for the British heavyweight title.
    Fury though, does not believe Price has what it takes to make it to British title level and has called for the Liverpudlian to face him on April 11.
    No guarantees

    "If we are going to fight then we may as well fight now because based on his pro debut there's no guarantee David Price will make it to British-title level," said Fury.
    "I'd love for the fight to happen when there are titles at stake because I think it would be a massive fight, but my worry is that with his chin Price won't make it that far."
    "He says he'll do his talking in the ring, well here's his big chance, he can step up and fight me on April 11.
    "I'm still waiting on an opponent so the job's there for him if he wants it. He says he wants to stay busy and he's just coming off a win, so here's his chance."
    However, it appears unlikely that Fury, promoted by Hennessy Sports, and the Hayemaker Promotions-backed Price will meet so early in their careers.

    Animosity

    The animosity between the two fighters would make for a spiky contest though, with Price already labelling Fury as 'disrespectful'.
    Despite only making four pro appearances himself, Fury believes he is much more professional than 25-year-old Price - and claims his debut showed that.
    Price was caught by Ingleby after dropping his hands after the referee called for a break, and that lapse almost cost him.
    "He got hit with one clean shot in the whole fight and it had him all over the place. Imagine if that had been me hitting him?" added Fury.
    "That proved to me that he's still an amateur. He was waiting for the ref to step in and protect him. I've heard he's blaming it on his gumshield falling out. He said it was too small and yet he says I'm the one with the big mouth!
    "I hope he doesn't use his gumshield as an excuse for not fighting me next month."

    1) as if Price can fight 2 weeks after his pro debut
    2) cannot wait for Price to offer him a fight on the April 25th card

    Its entertaining though... gurantee it woulod be a cracking fight. Price looks a formidible puncher. That seems tohave been missed a little. Ingleby had just taken Pele Reid 12 rounds.

    Price needs to make the offer for April 25th and lose some weight.

    I think Price is the better fighter. Fury wins on intangiables like toughness and chin but Pricey is the better fighter. Plus Priceys shown some real heart in the amateurs. Furys shown mouth.

    Fury's starting to do my head in. He seemed a likeable straight talking lad at first now every week he's gobbing off trying to get himself in the papers.

    Why is Fury "gobbing off" ? Price can shut him the **** up in a heart beat by taking the offer

    Ludicrous, why is that when Fury gives interviews on TV there is less of this kind of talk?

    Everytime he gives a live interview he comes across well, but then press releases like this on a weekly basis :huh
