About this deal

Price, who lives on the Gurnos Estate, was aged about 11 when he started boxing at Merthyr Boxing Club. Suddenly, Price was a target from every guy who fancied squaring up to a former boxer - and he was never afraid of taking on the "liberty-takers".

I decided to write the book because a lot of these characters are getting older and in twenty years or so people may not remember the stories about them", said dad of two Julian, who is married to Fiona. It's like comparing the guy who is class at pub football and would run rings around anyone in the park - against the likes of Rooney... When this picture was taken Howard Winstone had just turned professional, standing with him are Eddie Thomas and David and Bobby Giles. In the front row (left to right): Malcolm Price, a Welsh junior champion and a Welsh International; Gerald Jones, a flyweight champion and Welsh International; Don James, Boy's Club of Wales champion, Welsh International, Welsh flyweight champion and a British NCB champion; John Gamble, a British welter weight champion and a Welsh International. For example, if they were from the same era, Klitchsco might beat Mclean in a Boxing Ring, doesnt make him 'Harder' though.

More Welsh history

Price, Jones, James and Gamble all went on to fight professionally. Don James has been a big influence on boxing in Merthyr; he trained Johnny Owen before the European bantamweight began hitting the headlines. Some of these men have become real characters in their communities, some lionised, others vilified - but all have a story to tell. The book describes in blood-curdling detail how Price turned his hometown Merthyr Tydfil, which he calls a "fighting town", into a battleground. Some local tough guy that can take a punch may be hard, but he's not going to be able to compete against these guys.

I had been steered into this career (boxing), a career I didn't really want, and yet it became all that I had," he said. "Now it had been taken away from me, I had no real reason to steer clear of trouble. nPunching a motorcyclist, who was causing a nuisance in Talbot Green, Llantrisant, in the face as he drove past;Martin Hennessey is from the company. He said: "We need a reliable, efficient, and up to date treatment works to meet demand and cope with the impacts of climate change. And in an AirBnb poll, released this Easter, Merthyr Tydfil was revealed in the top ten holiday locations across the UK.

And one was a direct plea to Dwr Cymru Welsh Water:"Keep your promise to 'look after our beautiful environment now and for years to come'." He switched to Dowlais Boxing Club and, by the time he was 15, Eddie Thomas - himself a British and European welterweight champion - was tipping Price as an up-and-coming heavyweight champ. Put anyone mentioned in this thread in a fight with the likes of Mike Bisping, Paul Daley, Dan Hardy, Andre Winner, Ross Pearson and it'd be over within a minute - they are professional athletes trained to fight in multiple disciplines. Training twice a day 6 times a week.

They say a healthy supply of fresh drinking water for 700,000 customers is vital for the future, and with the three current plants nearing the end of their operational lives, work must begin on designing and constructing a brand new facility. And, how despite teaming up with top Welsh trainer Eddie Thomas and sparring with the legendary Howard Winstone, he sunk into an underworld of street fighting after pushing a broken glass into a man's face. Eventually he was being hired as a hardman to do favours for businessmen who wanted rivals frightened off or debts collected. HARD-AS-NAILS street fighter Malcolm Price has ditched a life of violence which saw him become the most feared man in Wales.
