David Price becomes the first British heavyweight champion from Liverpool by knocking out Sam Sexton in the fourth round at Aintree.

David Price has become the first British heavyweight champion from Liverpool after knocking out Sam Sexton at Aintree last night.

The 28-year-old also collected the Commonwealth heavyweight title by knocking out Norwich fighter Sexton in the fourth round.

"I felt like I boxed the perfect fight," Price told Sky Sports News.

"Sam didn't lay a glove on me. It was everything I worked towards since I first fought.

"Now I can move forward [with my career]."

Price troubled Sexton with his jab and had his opponent on the canvas twice before landing an uppercut which put Sexton on the ropes, and soon after landing with a right hook to floor the 27-year-old.

Sexton had only previously lost to Dereck Chisora professionally, while Price, a former Olympic bronze medalist, is now unbeaten in 13 professional bouts.
