    Sprott or Lewison will likely face Chisora now- either fight would be a half decent test for Dereck.

    Froch didn't duck Groves, he fought him & won, stopping him in the process :huh

    Price is simply ducking Chisora. Just like Wilder did.

    I think he's referring to Froch ducking the rematch that everyone is demanding after Groves outclassed him and was then the victim of a dreadful and very suspicious stoppage.

    Yes. Not sure what happens with the Commonwealth- logic would have dictated that Leipai would fight Browne but he is now the mandatory for Wlad.

    I'm rebuilding Price from the ground up.

    As of now Chisora is the wrong fight. In 12 months David will beat him.

    Wise move by Price's management. Give him time and chance to rebuild. If ready, he can always come back and win these gain. Fair action too - let go of the titles, so that those who want them and feel ready can have a go. Can we see Perez for the Commonwealth title?

    Don't think he's eligible- is he based still in Ireland?

    Lol going from fighting thompson to ducking chisora.

    Moves like this will actually hit his confidence even more.

    So how longs he looking to rebuild?. I thought these belts meant the world to him?.

    Sorry but a lot of double standards here IMO.

    For me he's delaying the inevitable. Chisora is a fight that not only could earn him redemption but also push him up the world rankings more then fighting at a lower level in Germany which i believe he will do until at least next summer and even then what kinda step up will it be?.

    Fury got criticized for the same excuse years ago and he took a few development fights before the step up in Johnson and Cunningham. Lets hope Price steps up into meaningful fights after this warm up bout. Because if he don't i'd like to see people call it how it is.
