THE Royal Albert Hall will host a jam-packed night of women’s boxing THIS FRIDAY.
British rivals Natasha Jonas, 40, and Lauren Price, 30, will headline the night as they go head-to-head in a massive unification bout.
Natasha Jonas has had a remarkable career, including being the first female boxer to represent Great Britain
Price became a professional and defeated Jessica McCaskill in March of last year to win the WBA and Ring welterweight belts
This matchup was set up by the British rivals’ respective world title wins in December.
The unbeaten Price will enter as the WBA champion, while Jonas, a multi-weight world champion, will bring the WBC and IBF titles to the capital venue – with all three on the line, as well as The Ring magazine title.
Price has gone 8-0 (2 KOs) as a professional and is building on her Olympic gold medal from Tokyo 2021.
She will be one of the biggest tests of boxing queen Jonas’ pro career, although the Liverpudlian – 10 years her senior – has vastly more professional experience (16-2-1, 9 KOs).
Here’s all you need to know about the card.
