Natasha Jonas vs Lauren Price LIVE!
The Royal Albert Hall is the venue tonight for a huge unification world title fight. The WBC, IBF and WBA welterweight world championships are all on the line in a huge all-British affair which headlines an all-women’s fight card in London. WBC and IBF champion Jonas puts her belts up for grabs against the unbeaten WBA champion Price.
Liverpudlian Jonas is a decade older than her Welsh opponent, who boasts an 8-0 record since turning professional after winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics four years ago. Rings walks are expected at around 10.30pm GMT after Caroline Dubois earned a tiring win over Bo Mi Re Shin in a WBC lightweight title fight.
Elsewhere on the card, Chloe Watson lost her European flyweight title to Jasmina Zapotoczna after an intense 10-round bout, after Francesca Hennessy had made easy work of Gemma Ruegg. Later on the card, Karriss Artingstall takes on Raven Chapman in a featherweight contest. Will Price continue her unbeaten record? Follow Jonas vs Price live below!
