Anthony Joshua's victory in his unification fight with Joseph Parker rightly dominates discussion in the heavyweight division as people wait to see where the champion goes from here.

He wasn't, however, the only British heavyweight to get people talking that night.

David Price's night in Cardiff didn't go how he wanted it to - a fifth-round knockout from Alexander Povetkin saw to that - and where it leaves a 34-year-old with four career losses is debatable.

This wasn't any ordinary loss, either, as most saw it as Price's last real opportunity to put his name in the mix at the top of the division as it enters its most exciting period in years.

Povetkin will be the one who moves on to bigger things, with mandatory status being talked about and a fight with Dillian Whyte.

Price, on the other hand, has an unclear future in the sport. He can step back, of course, towards the lesser titles that he's held before.

Many feel that he should retire, having already achieved everything he's likely to in boxing.

But while some may be a little down on his career prospects after the knockout, Price can't help but have a positive outlook.

“I’m excited to get back in there," said Price. "I can’t wait.Normally I have some time away from boxing after a fight but I want to get straight back into it this time - I’ve fallen back in love with it.

“I really want to say a huge ‘thanks’ to the support I’ve received before, during and after the fight. It has completely renewed my faith in boxing as a sport.

“Although I lost and got knocked out, I proved I can compete with elite fighters. Before the fight, I said I would carry on regardless and after it, I take the positives and will now go for the European title.”

And that positivity is easy to explain when you hear Price's afterthoughts on the fight.

“That hook landed so cleanly," he said of his knockdown of Povetkin. "If the referee hadn’t have given him a count I could have followed up my attack before the end of the round. They were small margins.

“[My] knockout won’t have been nice for people to watch in the heat of the moment but I didn’t mind watching it straight afterwards when I went backstage.

"For a long time, I couldn’t watch Erkan Teper knocking me out but you grow as a person.

“If a fighter quits just because they get knocked out, are they really a fighter? Getting knocked out is part of boxing and you have to accept that.”
