World number one darts player Gerwyn Price is set to make his boxing debut later this year to raise money for charity.
The Iceman, who played professional rugby union and league before turning his attention to the oche, has announced he will have his first bout on April 9 in his native Wales.
The 36-year-old revealed on his Instagram story that he will take on Rhys ‘Cool Fly & Flashy’ Evans at the Valley Tavern in Fleur De Lys.
Price admitted he will need to lose weight for the fight, writing in his post: “Need to drop 10kg for this.”
The Welshman later revealed that he's stepping into the ring to raise money for three charities including St David's hospice, who cared for his mother-in-law during her battle with cancer.
Price has been a controversial figure in darts ever since his victory over Anderson in the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts so the six-time major winner can expect to play the pantomime villain role against Evans.
