Chatham heavyweight Tom Dallas saw his unbeaten record slip away on Saturday when he was knocked out inside two rounds.

Dallas, pictured, was sent to the canvas by Liverpool's David Price, who ruined the 26-year-old's 15-0 professional record.

Having taken the fight on at such short notice, Dallas certainly had nothing to lose. He landed a couple of blows in the first round but also took some from Price.

With the second round heading toward the bell, Price exploded into life an a body shot was quickly followed by a fast-becoming trademark right punch which ended the show for Dallas.

"Before the fight I didn't think it would go 10 rounds as we both hit hard and either one of us was going to get knocked down," said Dallas.

"I was moving well and was rolling in and out. But then my left was down a bit and maybe I've got to learn to keep my hands nice and tight more."
