Kash Ali disqualified for biting David Price during heavyweight fight

Kash Ali was disqualified for biting David Price during a shocking heavyweight bout between the two British fighters on Merseyside.

Home favourite Price sealed his second victory in as many fights as referee Mark Lyson decided to put a halt to the spectacle at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Saturday evening.

Lyson had already deducted a point from Ali for punching Price in the back of the head as the latter got the upper hand in the opening rounds of a bad-tempered bout.

The Birmingham boxer appeared to nibble at Price’s shoulder later on in round three before the two fighters hit the canvass in the fifth round – and this is when Ali sunk his teeth into Price’s stomach.

Fellow Scouser Tony Bellew labelled Ali a ‘disgrace’ following the shocking scenes at the M&S Bank Arena.

‘His bottle went and they were disgusting things which have no place in a boxing ring,’ Bellew said.

‘He bit him not once, not twice, not even three times, he bit him four times and the referee caught him twice.

‘He’s a disgrace and shouldn’t be allowed back in a boxing ring ever again.

‘He should not be paid for the fight, give the money to grassroots boxing and help develop amateur boxing.

‘Biting a man when they’re on the floor, there aren’t many lower things in life.’
