” I believe that the Price v McDermott fight will prove to the British public if David has the necessary armory to emulate Lennox Lewis”
Maloney also added “This shows the high regard that David has for John McDermott, knowing that unless he is 100% on top of his game there is no way he would face a warrior like McDermott”.
On McDermott, Maloney said : “He is one of the most unlucky fighters I have known in the history of British boxing.”
“This man definitely beat Tyson Fury in their first fight. I suffered more that night than the night Lennox Lewis lost because I ended up having a heart attack.” – referring to the controversial decision where Tyson Fury was awarded a 98-92 points win against McDermott.
