Natasha Jonas will take on Lauren Price in a three-belt unification on March 7. The fight takes place from the Royal Albert Hall following their respective wins. Jonas defended her IBF Welterweight Title by winning a unanimous decision victory against Ivana Habazin .
She picked up Habzin’s WBC belt to unify in a second weight class following that achievement at junior middleweight. Price joined Jonas in the ring as the duo engaged in trash talk to set up a fight. Price boxed on the Jonas-Habazin card.
She faced the undefeated Bexcy Mateus . Price stopped her in emphatic fashion, ending the fight in the third round. She retained her WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine Belts, taking her record to 8-0.
Jonas is the more experienced fighter, but at 40, will she be able to fend off the rising star in Price, who is in her prime at 30? Mikaela Mayer holds the WBO Welterweight Title after beating Sandy Ryan in her last fight via a majority decision to pick up the belt. The winner Jonas-Price will take a step closer to becoming undisputed at 147. Reaction “It’s an honour to be headlining this incredible all-women’s event at such an iconic venue.
It shows how far women’s boxing has come. Throughout my career, I have broken down barriers and achieved what people said I couldn’t, and there is still a lot more to come. Lauren Price has a lot of hype around her but I believe this fight is going to be a step too far for her.
I’ve been in big fights, I’ve fought world champions and Ol.
