Jonas vs Price: The Battle for Welterweight Supremacy on International Women's Day

The stage is set for a monumental clash in the boxing world as Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price prepare to face off in a high-stakes welterweight bout. Scheduled for March 8, International Women's Day, the event promises to be a landmark celebration of women’s boxing, with the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London serving as the grand stage.

The Fighters: Experience vs Youth

• Natasha Jonas (16-2-1, 9 KOs): The seasoned veteran brings a wealth of experience, two world titles (WBC and IFB), and a storied career that includes battles with legends like Katie Taylor.
• Lauren Price (8-0, 2 KOs): The undefeated rising star, a Commonwealth and Olympic gold medallist, represents the new generation of boxing talent. Price is confident, fast, and eager to prove herself on the professional stage.

What’s at Stake?

With three belts on the line, the tangible rewards are undeniable. However, this fight goes beyond the titles. For Jonas, a victory could cement her legacy and pave the way for an undisputed title fight against Mikaela Mayer or Sandy Ryan. For Price, a win would elevate her status as a dominant force in the welterweight division.

The Build-Up: Tension and Trash Talk

The lead-up to the fight has been anything but cordial. Price has dismissed Jonas' experience, while Jonas has questioned Price’s readiness for the big stage. Jonas’ trainer, Joe Gallagher, has even labeled Price as overhyped, insisting that Jonas will prove her doubters wrong.

The Venue: Royal Albert Hall

This historic venue, with a rich boxing history, will add to the spectacle. The winner will join the ranks of boxing greats like Henry Cooper, Naseem Hamed, and Frank Bruno, who have triumphed here.

The Fight: A Clash of Styles

Jonas’ experience and technical prowess will be tested against Price’s speed and precision. Will Jonas’ ring IQ and toughness prevail, or will Price’s youthful energy and athleticism prove too much to handle?

Quotes from the Fighters
