Olympic Gold Medalist Lauren Price (6-0, 1 KO) MBE is gearing up to challenge Jessica McCaskill (12-3-1, 5 KOs) for the WBA, IBO, and Ring Magazine World Welterweight Titles on Saturday, May 11, at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff.

Lauren Price has already etched her name in history as the first Welsh boxer to clinch Olympic gold. She now aims to further her legacy by becoming the first female world champion from Wales. Price's ascent from Commonwealth, European, and World champion in her amateur days to a potential professional world titleholder speaks volumes of her skill.

McCaskill, from Chicago, Illinois, has held titles across two weight classes and was instrumental in dethroning Cecilia Brækhus, thus ending her decade-long dominance in the welterweight division. McCaskill’s victories over Brækhus in 2021 and 2022 solidified her position as the undisputed champion at 147 lbs, maintaining her undefeated streak in this weight class.
Price expressed her excitement about the fight, “I’m over the moon for this fight to finally be announced. It’s amazing to have this opportunity in Cardiff, a place I haven’t boxed since the beginning of my career. I can’t wait to perform in front of my friends, family, and supporters.”
