David Price is to return to the ring next month.

The heavyweight, 34, has been out since suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Christian Hammer back in February.

But after calls to retire and having taken a break from the sport, ‘Pricey’ has decided to give it another go.

The former British and Commonwealth champion will box on September 16 at the ECHO Arena in his home city, as part of the undercard to Callum Smith’s vacant WBC Diamond super-middleweight title clash against Erik Skoglund in the World Boxing Super Series.

‘Pricey’, 21-4 (18 KOs), has changed his setup ahead of returning to the squared circle for another chance to show what he has to offer and is now training under George Vaughan, Derry Mathews and Joe McNally.

Having previously been with Dave Coldwell, Price now believes that this is make or break and that he can return to make a big impact in the sport's premier division.

Adam Little will face Darren Surtees over eight rounds on the undercard, while there will be action for the already confirmed duo of Lloyd Campbell and Luke Willis and Luke Blackledge meets the undefeated Zach Parker in a British super-middleweight title eliminator.

Tickets are on sale now priced £35, £40, £60, £80, £100, £150, £200 and £350 (VIP) via the ECHO Arena box office or online at http://bit.ly/2udFOhn .
