Video: Undefeated Heavyweight Boxer Disqualified For Biting Opponent
Heavyweight boxer Kash Ali suffered his first loss this weekend, and it came by the strangest of circumstances.
Ali met former sparring partner David Price at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena this weekend. Price was winning on the scorecards when he landed a big right hand in the fifth round. Ali then tackled Price to the mat and when he did, bit him on the chest.
Referee Mark Lyson had already docked Ali a point for hitting the back of Price’s head earlier in the fight. When he bit Price, Lyson immediately disqualified Ali. This wasn’t the first alleged incident, either, as Price had accused Ali of biting him before. The DQ gave the previously 15-0 his first defeat.

Price had quite the bite mark, too, as seen in this photo via Sky Sports:
After the loss, Ali asked Price for a rematch. But Price told Sky Sports he wasn’t understandably having it with an ‘animal’ like Ali:
“He said ‘let’s do a rematch’ but I don’t want to share the ring with an animal like that.”
Former world champion Tony Bellew also offered this harsh assessment of the situation:
“He shouldn’t be allowed back in a boxing ring again. He is a disgrace for what he’s done. Biting a man on the floor?
