David Price's young professional career will reach a crossroads when he locks horns with Tony Thompson for a second time on July 6.
Price admits that his confidence was seriously dented after the loss and it was only after getting back into training camp that he regained the missing self-belief. He said: "It took time to rebuild the confidence and regain it and it's only when you start getting yourself back in good shape and going to the gym when you start getting your confidence back. "As it stands now I'm the same fighter I was last fight confidence-wise, but not over-confident." Another defeat on home soil could have disastrous consequences for Price, but he insists he is not feeling any extra pressure this time around. "I always use the support of my home fans, the only pressure on me is the pressure I'm putting on myself," he said. "But if you look at it logically, I'm under no more pressure to win this fight than I have been for any other fight I've had in my career. Every fight I have is a must-win fight and this is no different." Iron Gym are proud sponsors of the Price vs Thompson fight. For more information on Iron Gym go to www.irongym-europe.com
