I’m a fan of heavyweight champion David Price, admits Andy Murray

British No1 Andy Murray has admitted to being a fan of Liverpool's David Price since meeting the new British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.

Murray is widely regarded as Britain's best tennis player and will target winning his first grand slam at this summer's Wimbledon but, though he cannot guarantee he will do so, the Scot is more certain about Price's chances of success.

"I met him [Price] at the Olympics in Beijing and he was a really, really nice guy," said Murray to Sky Sports. "[He's] a massive guy, too – he's huge!

"I've watched quite a few of his fights and he's huge. He seems like he's got a massive, massive punch and I think technically he's very good.

"I'm sure he'll do well."
