|
David Price made an impressive start to his professional heavyweight career as he comfortably defeated journeyman David Ingleby inside three rounds.
The Olympic super-heavyweight bronze medallist was making his pro debut against Morecambe's Ingleby.
Price, 25, sealed victory with a right-hander which floored his opponent and ended the contest with 30 seconds left in the third round.
"He was a tough nut and I was quite surprised," Price remarked.
The Liverpool-born boxer said he had given his all to try and knock Ingleby out.
"I was hitting him with punches that people would usually go off with in the amateurs - tough fighter," he said.
Price admitted that having the fight staged at the Liverpool Echo Arena made it extra special.
"The opportunity to make my debut in my home town, I feel very lucky. It's the best place to start my career."
