Price, who played professional rugby union and league before turning his attention to the oche, has announced he will have his first bout on 9 April in his native Wales.
The 36-year-old revealed on his Instagram story that he will take on Rhys ‘Cool Fly & Flashy’ Evans at the Valley Tavern in Fleur De Lys.
Price admitted he will need to lose weight for the fight, writing in his post: “Need to drop 10kg for this.”
Price became the first Welshman to win the PDC World Championship in 2021, beating Scotland’s Gary Anderson 7-3 in the final at Alexandra Palace to claim the first prize of £500,000.
He reached the quarter-finals in the defence of his title and hit a nine-dart finish against Michael Smith, but went on to lose the match 5-4.
