Lauren Price Dominates Natasha Jonas to Unify Welterweight Titles in Historic Boxing Showdown

Lauren Price secures a decisive victory over Natasha Jonas to unify the welterweight titles, marking a new era in women's boxing at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Lauren Price's Masterclass at Royal Albert Hall

In a spectacular display of skill and determination, Lauren Price outclassed Natasha Jonas to unify the welterweight division in front of an electrifying crowd at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall. The 30-year-old Olympic gold medalist showcased her superior speed and precision, outmaneuvering the veteran Jonas over ten rounds in a fight that will be remembered as a turning point in women's boxing.

The Fight Breakdown

From the opening bell, Price dictated the pace, landing sharp combinations and forcing Jonas onto the defensive. The Welsh fighter's agility and counter-punching were too much for Jonas, who struggled to find her rhythm. By the seventh round, a powerful right hand from Price sent Jonas reeling, signaling the beginning of the end for the Liverpool veteran.

The judges scored the bout 98-93, 100-90, and 98-92 in favor of Price, who not only retained her WBA title but also claimed Jonas' WBC and IBF belts. This victory cements Price's status as one of the sport's elite, with many predicting a long reign at the top of the division.

What's Next for Price and Jonas?

With the win, Price is now eyeing an undisputed title shot against the winner of the upcoming fight between Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan. "I want to create a legacy in this sport," Price declared post-fight. "Tash is one of the best, and I believe I can become undisputed champion."

For Jonas, the defeat raises questions about her future in the sport. The 40-year-old, who has been a trailblazer in women's boxing, hinted at retirement after the fight. "I'll go home and think about it," Jonas said. "But I’m proud of what I’ve achieved."

A New Era in Women's Boxing

The bout, held on an all-female card, was a testament to the growing popularity and quality of women's boxing. The Royal Albert Hall, a venue steeped in boxing history, provided a fitting stage for this changing of the guard. Price's performance has set the stage for what promises to be an exciting new chapter in the sport.
