LONDON, UK (March 19, 2025) – Unified World Welterweight Champion Lauren Price MBE has signed a multi-year contract extension with next generation promoter BOXXER as the Welsh star targets undisputed glory.
The Olympic gold medallist produced a punch perfect performance to defeat Natasha Jonas and unify the WBC, IBF, WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine World Welterweight Titles in a historic night for boxing at the Royal Albert Hall.
Having committed her future to BOXXER, the unbeaten fighter from Ystrad Mynach has set her sights on the only remaining belt in the division.
Mikaela Mayer defends her WBO World Title in a rematch against Sandy Ryan, live on Sky Sports, on March 30th in Las Vegas, and Price wants to face the winner in an undisputed battle later this year.
Lauren Price MBE said: “I’m very happy to have signed a contract extension with BOXXER and Ben Shalom. It was incredible to fight at the Royal Albert Hall. To become unified world champion and to headline such a historic night was a special feeling. It’s the second all-female card I have fought on. It shows BOXXER’s and Sky Sports’ commitment to growing the sport and staging the biggest fights possible.
“When I turned pro after winning Olympic gold, I knew I wanted to do something special in the sport. To be a unified champion in just my ninth fight is a great achievement, but I want all the belts. I believe I’m the best in the division and I want the winner of Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan next.”
BOXXER Founder and CEO Ben Shalom said: “Lauren Price is a special talent. We’re delighted that she has extended her contract with BOXXER. Her performance against Natasha Jonas, who deserves a huge amount of credit for what she has achieved in the sport, was exceptional. I believe Lauren is the best in the division and has the potential to become the best pound for pound. She wants the winner of Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan for all the belts, and that’s the fight we want to make next.”
