Michael van Gerwen is concerned about Gerwyn Price ’s decision to compete at a boxing charity event. The 2021 World champion made the announcement last month and will clash with Rhys "Cool Fly & Flashy" Evans at the Valley Tavern in Fleur De Lys, Wales, scheduled for April 9.
The Welshman sustained a hand injury and was forced to pull out of week five of the Darts Premier League earlier this month - a night which the Dutchman went on to win. The world number two has now returned to the oche, but Van Gerwen thinks his rival is risking further injury by continuing his boxing training.
“I don’t think boxing is good for your body, I think you can get injured. I think it’s not the best decision to make in your life but Gerwyn is Gerwyn,” the three-time world champion said. "He always does things differently so that’s his own thing. I don’t think he’s going to do the fight now with his hand. I’d be surprised. It’s something he likes to do and good luck.”
