Following a brave knockout loss to Alexander Povetkin, he was hampered by an arm injury in a stoppage loss to Sergey Kuzmin, but the fully fit 35-year-old intends to end the year with an impressive win.
Tom Little poses a good threat, so we've taken him seriously and we're ready to get in there, and ready to rock really.
"I'm over that [injury]," Price told Sky Sports. "Started using that about six weeks ago, so that's fine.
"Trained well, had a good camp. Tom Little poses a good threat, so we've taken him seriously and we're ready to get in there, and ready to rock really.
"It's of the utmost importance that I win, so it's a massive fight for me."
Price hopes to continue the rebuilding process with a few more victories, but is confident he can earn another major bout in the top division.
"Like I said before to Eddie Hearn, there is that many big names out there now, they are always looking for a dance partner. I can accept that I will be going in as the opponent in some of these situations.
"What I do I want to do, for as long as possible, I want to be taking fights that at least on paper are more in my favour than the other fighter, and that hasn't been the case, the last two fights. I think this is the case in this fight, I favour myself over Tom.
"You can going into fights saying 'oh, I believe I'm going to win,' but the reality is - you're fighting undefeated up and coming prospects who you've been brought in for them to win against.
"It's a numbers game, it's a business, boxing. I want to try and play that game for maybe two or three fights, build a bit of momentum and then when a big fight does present itself, I'll be in the best possible frame of mind, and give myself the best opportunity to win."
