Hot

footsteps of his Liverpool compatriot David Price, the British and
Commonwealth heavyweight champion, by scooping his own version of the

Butler,
who has impressed in his fledgling career so far, putting together a
run of 8 consecutive wins since turning pro in 2010, will be looking to
add his name to the red and blue city’s long list of emerging talent
capable of mixing it at the highest level, by picking up his first major
title.

Big
man Price (6ft 8in) stands over a foot taller than little man Butler
(5ft 6in) but steps into a contest of similar magnitude when he takes on
fellow former Olympian Audley Harrison at the Liverpool Echo Arena this
Saturday (live and exclusive on BoxNation, Sky Ch. 437 and Virgin Ch.
465) and Butler has every confidence that the man dubbed ‘Britain’s Next
Big Thing’ in many quarters, will have all the tools in his arsenal to
make it a hard night for former Olympic Gold medallist Harrison.

Ellesmere
Port star Butler said “David Price has shown the nation in his last few
fights what many in the trade have known for years, that he can go on
and compete at world level. Harrison will be his toughest test to date,
he’s a big man who has all the skills as he proved by winning an Olympic
gold medal at the Sydney games. But I think that David has that killer
instinct that will see him through and again impress the fans in the
process.”

He continued “Another Lonsdale belt will be coming to Liverpool either way on the 9th
November, to join those already held by David and Bellew, as both me
and Donnelly are Merseyside born and bred. But I tell you now, that the
belt will be coming home with me and not with him.”
