David Price's promoters, Team Sauerland, have said today that they will speak to Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn about arranging an all-British super-fight between the two heavyweights in 2015.

Price is rebuilding his career after back-to-back defeats by veteran American Tony Thompson under the German promoters, and was at ringside last night to see Joshua destroy Denis Bakhtov inside two rounds to win the WBC International heavyweight title at the 02 Arena.

Hearn stoked the fire for a bout between the two Brits by mentioning Price in his post-fight interview, and the Liverpudlian's promoters say they would be more than happy to arrange the bout for next year with the London 2012 super-heavyweight gold medallist.

"He was a strong guy and he wasn't an easy opponent but I wanted to make light work of him."
