Price switches his team to boost title challenge

David Price aims to renew his attempt to become world heavyweight champion after joining forces with German promoters Team Sauerland.

Brothers Kalle and Nisse Sauerland announced their capture of the 6ft 8ins Liverpudlian on Monday as they bid to guide him to elite level following a disastrous 2013.

The 30-year-old had looked destined for the top until shocking back-to-back stoppage defeats by American veteran Tony Thompson derailed his plans.

However, Price has since changed trainer, teaming up with David Haye's coach Adam Booth, and will now work with the powerful Sauerlands as he plots his way back to form.

Price said: “I’m excited to be joining Europe’s biggest promoters.”
