    I`ve been reading Tyson Fury`s autobiography and he stated that he won the ABA finals in 2008 at the age of 19 so should have been picked for the 2008 olympics, Price was picked instead because he had represented GB in the 2006 commonwealth games, Price only picked up a bronze, could Fury have won a gold if he had been picked instead?

    Price won his spot by beating Fury who dropped Price during the fight

    But Fury went on to win the ABA finals two years after his loss to Price.
