Price to fight Hammer on February 4

David Price will take on Christian Hammer next month on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr’s latest fight. The Liverpool heavyweight has been added to the February 4 bill at London’s Olympia, where Eubank Jr will meet Renold Quinlan in the main super-middleweight event.

Price’s opponent is a Germany-based Romanian who counts Britons Michael Sprott and Danny Williams among his 20 victims. His last trip to the United Kingdom ended in defeat in February 2015, though, as he lost all eight rounds to Tyson Fury before failing to come out for the ninth.

Hammer’s most recent win came in October against Erkan Teper, the German who beat Price in the summer of 2015 before subsequently failing a drug test.
