Robert Smith, a secretary for the British Boxing Board of Control who was present at the match released a statement to the press on the bite. He said, “It’s disgusting, abhorrent what Ali did, and there is no place for this in boxing. It’s totally unacceptable.”
After the match, David Price had this to say about his competitor, “I don’t want to share a ring with an animal like that again”.
Kash Ali spoke about the controversial bite during a post-match interview and apologised for his actions. He said, “There’s no excuses for it. I think just the build-up to the fight – it’s my first time boxing on a big stage. I was so pumped up, I just wanted to fight. The street mentality just kicked in, it was stupid. As mad as it sounds, when I ended up on top of him, boxing went out the window. I just thought, this is a fight now. It was out of order and I apologise to him.”
