Ivan Hope Price (born 6 March 2000), better known as Hopey Price, is a British professional boxer. As an amateur, he won silver medals at the 2017 European Youth Championships and 2018 Youth World Championships,[1] and gold at the 2018 European Youth Championships[2] and 2018 Youth Olympics; becoming the first boxer from Great Britain to win gold at a Youth Olympic Games.[3]
Professional career
In October 2019, it was announced Price had signed a promotional contract with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing and would make his professional debut the following month.[4] The fight took place on 2 November 2019 at the Manchester Arena, Manchester, with Price scoring a four-round points decision victory over Joel Sanchez on the undercard of Katie Taylor's world title challenge against Christina Linardatou.[5][6] Price was back in action one month later to defeat Swedi Mohamed via third-round technical knockout (TKO) on 7 December at the Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.[7][8]
