Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price will top an all-women’s fight card at the Royal Albert Hall this Friday, as the British pair vie for three welterweight titles.
Jonas, a multi-weight world champion, will carry the WBC and IBF belts into the London venue, while the unbeaten Price enters as WBA champion.
While Jonas, 40, has the greater professional experience (16-2-1, 9 knockouts), the Liverpudlian should face a stern test from her Welsh foe, who has gone 8-0 (2 KOs) as a pro – building on her Olympic gold medal from Tokyo 2021.
Price, 30, also has youth on her side in this battle of southpaws, which headlines after Caroline Dubois defends her WBC lightweight title.
The card was also due to see Cindy Ngamba make her pro debut, after she became the Refugee team’s first-ever Olympic medalist last summer, but a medical issue has forced her off the event. Meanwhile, Price’s partner Karriss Artingstall boxes Raven Chapman. Here’s all you need to know.

Jonas vs Price will take place on Friday 7 March at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The main card is due to start at 7pm GMT (11am PT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET), with ring walks for the main event expected at around 9.30pm GMT (1.30pm PT / 3.30pm CT / 4.30pm ET).
