Lauren Price will defend her World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title on December 14 against Bexcy Mateus at the Exhibition Center in Liverpool, UK.

On Wednesday, the promoter made the official announcement of this fight, an evening during which several crucial fights will take place and several characters will be in the ring.

Price will make the first defense of her crown, which she won on May 11 last year, defeating Jessica McCaskill in the ninth round by technical decision. The fight had to be stopped due to her opponent being cut after an accidental headbutt and the Briton was on top by the end of the fight.

Mateus is Colombian and 29 years aged. She is undefeated and has a huge chance for a career that will not be basic, but she intends to take advantage of it. The fighter from Bogota will fight for the first time outside the country, which means a massive challenge, but she is supported by her striking power and aggressive style.

Price arrives with a record of 7 wins, no losses and 1 knockout, while Mateus has 7 wins, no losses and 6 knockouts.

World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion Eri Matsuda will face Tina Rupprecht in a triple crown unification fight this Saturday at the Olympiastuetzpunkt Stadium in Heidelberg, Germany.

Matsuda’s WBO belt and the IBF belt, owned by Rupprecht, will also be at stake in the fight. The winner will inevitably be the best in a division that has become increasingly competitive over the years.

It will be a hard challenge for the Japanese fighter, as it will be her first defense of the black and gold crown, as well as her first fight outside her home country, which is a challenge for any fighter’s career.

In her last fight, Matsuda, 30, defeated Yuko Kuroki to take the pioneering promotion’s 102-pound crown in a brilliant performance that shocked the boxing world.

She will now face Rupprecht, a long-time minimum delicate champion in the past who lost her world crown to Seniesa Estrada in 2023. After this defeat, she decided to move down to a lower category and was crowned by defeating Fabiana Bytyqi in January this year, so this fight will mark consolidation in this fresh category.

Matsuda has 7 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw and 1 knockout, while Rupprecht has 13 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw and 3 knockouts.

Katie Taylor repeated the dose against Amanda Serrano and defeated her in her second fight last Friday night, retaining her World Boxing Association (WBA) super lightweight crown, in addition to the WBC, WBO and IBF versions, in a stunning fight staged at AT&T in Arlington, Texas.

After defeating her in Recent York in 2023, which was the fight of the year, Taylor came back to pick up a victory in a rematch in another substantial fight that will also be a candidate for best fight in 2024.

In the fight, which was the second main event of the night featuring Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, Taylor received a score of 95-94 from all three judges, with Netflix reporting that the number was 50 million connected users. .

It was a very close fight, with a lot of exchanges and blood, especially after Serrano’s eyebrow was cut due to an accidental headbutt. The Puerto Rican struggled with an injury, but he never slowed down and together with Taylor he put on a great show that raises the level of women’s boxing.

Taylor received a point deduction for going headfirst in the eighth round, but she was able to overcome that hurdle and claim a close victory that keeps her as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters today.

The Irishwoman currently has 24 wins, 1 loss and 6 knockouts, while Serrano has 47 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw and 31 knockouts.
