David Price retires at the age of 38

Price hasn't fought since losing to Derek Chisora at London's O2 Arena in October 2019 and finishes with a record of 25 wins with 20 coming via knockout and seven losses.

Speaking to BT Sport Boxing, Price revealed he made the decision nearly two months ago. 

"Well, I haven't officially announced that I've retired, but I have. I'm not going to be fighting again. You won't see me in a boxing ring again, for a fight at least, Price said. "That was only officially made up in my mind about six weeks ago."

Price cited a number of factors that influenced his decision to hang up the gloves.

"I obviously haven't fought for two years, so totally inactive," Price said. The hunger was no longer there. That's massive, which is why your elite fighters like Tyson, like Canelo, like AJ, they have got as much money as they will ever need. But that hunger is still there. That's because they are fighting for glory. The glory had gone in my career."

The Liverpool boxer turned professional in 2009 after securing a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Price then went on to make an explosive start to his pro career, which included stoppage wins against Sam Sexton and Audley Harrison.

However, his progress was affected by a number of setbacks, including a dramatic loss to former world heavyweight title challenger Alexander Povetkin. Nevertheless, the Liverpudlian produced an impressive stoppage against David Allen in July 2019 in his penultimate fight before losing to Chisora a few months later in what is now his final venture into the squared circle.
