Lauren Price dreams of selling Welsh stadiums and going ‘All the Way’ while looking at an undisputed battle after her unanimous victory over Natasha Jonas in Royal Albert Hall.
WBA champion Price added the IBF and WBC titles to her collection with an elegant performance in London that set her for an undisputed collision against the winner of Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan.
The 30-year-old Welsh fighter won a 98-93 victory, 100-90, 98-92 on an evening where her youth paid dividends over 40-year-old Jonas.
“I want to go back to Wales. You saw it with Katie Taylor and how she has a nation behind her in Ireland, I have Wales, we are both Olympic champions, I believe I can sell stadiums and these are the dreams I have. I want to go all the way, ”the 9-0-0 price told reporters during her press conference after the fight.
‘To box here with myself and Natasha tonight, I will remember it for the rest of my life, it was incredible, I enjoyed it with the fans.
“Respect for Natasha she is a legend and I enjoyed the build -up and share the ring with her.”
Mayer and Ryan’s Rematch will take place later this month with the price in line to give a chance to add to her belt.
The ‘Lucky One’ discussed her ambitions to complete the set in her next battle and that she thinks that Mayer has the necessary things to get out of her re -broadcast with Ryan above.
“I think it will be a big fight and a close fight,” Price added later this month about her future opponent’s collision in Las Vegas.
“I’ll go for Mayer again as the winner. I think Sandy likes to fight, I think you can move her in and I think Mayer is probably better on the inside.
“Mayer and Natasha had a close battle. Sandy and Jessica McCaskill had a close struggle. I only have one of the best in the box section and you saw what I did, I believe in myself, I believe I am the best and I will climb the ladder. ‘
Liverpudlian Jonas struggled to get started because she couldn’t build on her impressive victory over Ivana Habazin in December.
Price coach Robert McCracken helped her carry out a game plan with his fighter who barely dropped a round on the way to victory.
“I told her to push the pace, Lauren is an exceptional boxer, she knows what she’s doing,” McCracken said.
“She gave Natasha some time to recover. Natasha was a brilliant professional world champion and now she is not a world champion, but still a female fighter from the top class. ‘
