'He was like a lunatic' - British boxer disqualified for biting opponent during fight

David Price slammed Kash Ali for biting him during their heavyweight fight last night.

BRITISH BOXER DAVID Price believes Kash Ali was “looking for a way out” by biting him during their heavyweight fight in Liverpool on Saturday.

Ali was disqualified in the fifth round after appearing to bite fellow Brit Price at the M&S Bank Arena.

Price slammed his opponent, saying the bite came as a result of Ali being on the verge of defeat.

“Before the fight he was like a lunatic looking across the ring at me. From early on he was throwing the head in and trying to bite me,” he told MTK Global.

“It got a bit scrappy at times, and in the fifth round I give away a few shots to try and let him blow out a bit.

“I hit him with a left to the body and he winced, then fell on top of me and bit me. He had already bit me earlier in the fight and was looking for a way out.

“I broke his nose in the second or third round and shook him, but let him off the hook a bit. It was a 10-round fight so I didn’t want to do too much too soon. It’s a bit of a disappointing result for me, but it’s done now, and it’s onwards and upwards.”
