David Price may return against Tom Little

David Price could be set to return against Tom Little in December.

Promoter Eddie Hearn is hoping to include Price on the December 22 card headlined by Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora's rematch, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and Little is being lined up as a potential opponent.

Liverpool puncher Price has suffered back-to-back stoppage defeats, each time on Anthony Joshua's undercards.

Price retired in his corner against Kuzmin

He was stopped by Alexander Povetkin after initially flooring the Russian last March. Then a fight against Sergey Kuzmin in September was cut short when Price suffered an injury.

But the 35-year-old (22-6) will be handed an opportunity to end 2018 on a high as he bids to return to title contention in the heavyweight division.

Little (10-6) has previously shared a ring with Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic.
