Eddie Hearn has challenge David Price to show he can be a big-stage contender when he fights in Cardiff on Saturday.

Price will take on Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's clash with Joseph Parker.

British fighter Price, 34, has fought and won only once since being stopped by Christian Hammer 13 months ago, when he considered retirement before appointing Derry Mathews as his new trainer, and he has been presented with the chance to revive his career.

Promoter Hearn said in Cardiff on Thursday: "What a heavyweight fight we have between David Price and Povetkin. A chance for Price to come out of the shadows."

Price added: "I carry the power, but I have also got an undulating skill set. I am going in there to give everything I have got.

"I am desperate to win. Losing is not an option. I need to embrace the occasion."
