Lauren Price Aims for Welsh Homecoming Fight Against Mayer or Ryan After Unified Victory

Olympic gold medalist Lauren Price targets a return to Wales for her next fight, possibly against Mikaela Mayer or Sandy Ryan, after unifying titles.

Lauren Price, the Olympic gold medalist, is setting her sights on a high-profile return to Wales following her recent unification victory in the boxing ring. At just 30 years old, Price has already made a significant mark in the professional boxing world, outclassing Natasha Jonas at the Royal Albert Hall to capture the WBC and IBF belts in her ninth professional fight. This victory not only solidified her status as a unified world champion but also retained her WBA title.

Price is now eyeing a potential bout with the winner of the upcoming rematch between Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan, which is set to take place in Las Vegas this month. She expressed her desire to fight in Wales and stated, "I want to come back to Wales, if it's not the winner of Mayer or Sandy next, I want that by the end of the year." Her ambition to stay active and continue her ascent in the boxing world is palpable.

The boxing community has taken notice of Price's dominant performance against Jonas, with judges scoring the fight 98-93, 100-90, and 98-92 in her favor. Fellow boxers and analysts have praised her skills and potential. WBO welterweight champion Mikaela Mayer expressed her expectation to face Price this year, saying, "I fully expect to be sharing the ring with Price later this year." Double Olympic champion Claressa Shields also congratulated Price and hinted at a possible future fight, suggesting it could be at the higher weight of 154lb.

Price's victory has not only elevated her status but also brought attention to women's boxing, with many lauding the recent all-female card in London as a significant win for the sport. As Price continues to build her legacy, her focus remains on staying active and motivated. "I'll remember this night for the rest of my life," she said, reflecting on her recent triumph. Her journey from Olympic champion to unified world champion is a testament to her skill, determination, and relentless drive to be the best.
