Gerwyn Price pulls out of charity boxing match as darts star reveals medical advice

Doctor's orders mean Gerwyn Price will no longer be taking part in a rearranged charity boxing match that was scheduled for next month.

'The Iceman' was originally slated to square off against fellow Welshman Rhys Evans at the Valley Tavern in Blackwood, Wales, earlier in April. A "small fracture" in Price's hand meant that date was initially pushed back until May, but the Grand Slam of Darts titleholder has said the fight is now off completely.

“I didn’t do it [the injury] in boxing, despite what people think,” Price told Online Darts TV . “I’ve pulled out of boxing now. On medical advice, I’ve been advised not to do it. Probably that was in the back of my mind, when I was training for boxing as well as doing darts. I thought I could do it, I thought I could mix both, and that probably hindered my [darts] game a little bit. Boxing’s behind me now, it’s darts from now on in.”
