Quotes
Natasha Jonas, WBC & IBF World Champion: “It’s an honour to be headlining this incredible all-women’s event at such an iconic venue. It shows how far women’s boxing has come. Throughout my career, I have broken down barriers and achieved what people said I couldn’t, and there is still a lot more to come. Lauren Price has a lot of hype around her but I believe this fight is going to be a step too far for her. I’ve been in big fights, I’ve fought world champions and Olympic medallists, but she’s never faced anyone like me as a pro.”
Lauren Price MBE, WBA, IBO & Ring Magazine World Champion: “I’m excited to headline such a huge occasion. I have a lot of respect for Natasha Jonas and what she has achieved in the sport, but she has the belts that I want. When I turned professional after becoming Olympic champion, I wanted to create greatness. This fight, a big all-British unification clash, Wales vs England with five world titles on the line, will help cement my legacy and show that I am number one in the division. I believe I’m too young, too quick and too good for Natasha Jonas and I will be bringing the belts back home to Wales with me.”
Betting Odds

Prediction
Tim Rickson, GBN Editor: "The odds for a draw are very low, due to the competitiveness of the fight, also due to the short two-minute rounds, where there's not a great deal of time to impose on each other.
"Jonas has all the experience, but, for me, the youth, speed, skill and freshness of Price will be the key factors in this fight. Jonas will make it rough and tough, but I'm picking Price to win on points."
