    It's a complete step down in competition, I don't understand it makes no sense at all.

    hes fighting him because most of the british public knows who harrison is becasue of his joke of a preformance against haye, Price so far has not ducked anyone and has chased tyson fury but its clear fury doesnt want to fight price, the irony of it all is fury fights total bums yet he seems to be more well known than price

    given price has fought world opposition yet but fighting harrison will get him in the public eye more than what he is currently

    Lowest ranked guys to beat Harrison were Guinn, Rogan and Sprott. Price looks good but he's not proved himself to be better than those guys yet, therefore Harrison is a good match up for him at this EARLY stage.

    As much as he lacks bottle, a chin and a few other things, Audley is also a big guy with boxing ability, given Prices size he could use some fights against other big fighters.

    It makes perfect sense, Price wants to defend his British/CW titles but against who?...

    Fury- TV situation
    Chisora- no BBBoC license
    Haye- not gonna happen
    Sexton- already beat him
    Larry O- drugs ban
    Rogan- just been beaten
    McDermott- already beat him

    That leaves prospects like Cornish & Whyte, or veterans like Sprott, Skelton & Harrison.

    Audley is the highest profile & least risk, it makes perfect sense.

    A step down from what? You do realize his best win thus far is over Sam Sexton.

    its a step up mcdermot isnt good, hes just hard to beat, but saying that prices style is perfect to beat a fat out of shape swarmer, sexton is capable and game but thats it.

    Whoever Fury fights, he gets slated

    Price could fight a binman and the British public would still lap it up...typical hypejob

    Fury's wins over Page, Chisora, Firtha, Pajkic, Maddalone and possibly a few more are clearly better than Price's best win. I do like Price from a technical standpoint all the same.
