David Price outclassed Sam Sexton to claim the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles in Liverpool. Referee Howard Foster called a halt to proceedings in the fourth round of a one-sided clash when Sexton was sent crashing to the canvas. Price, 28, said: “It’s everything I’ve worked towards since I turned professional. This was the first target, that’s done. Now we can move on.” Sexton, 27, had already been sent sprawling in the third as his opponent unveiled his impressive jab. Price added: “I felt like I boxed the perfect fight. I don’t think Sam Sexton laid a glove on me. I knew when I started getting through I’d hurt him. “I’m now ready to move on and challenge the best out there. “I’ve got to take my time, but making a statement like that, I’m going to have to move forward again.” Price predicted he would go on to become world champion. He said: “I believe that is my destiny. I’m doing everything right. “I’m just going to keep working in the gym. I’m not the finished article yet but I will get there.” Promoter Frank Maloney added: “What we saw tonight was a perfect performance — 10 out of 10. That’s the best jab I’ve seen since Lennox Lewis. “We’ve now got someone who I believe will bring the heavyweight world title back to Britain.” The sun .
