Lauren Price has shown that women’s boxing deserves unification

Published

London, England – Lauren Price promised the speed, power and clinical victory over Natasha Jonas and just provided it.

She dominated from the first bell to the last, placing the crowd on the edge of the seats with quick feet, brilliantly quick stab and knowledge that she could hit at any time.

While the victory will bring Price supplies to a higher level, the whole event in the London Royal Albert Hall was a great show of women’s boxing.

The sense of nostalgia, when the boxing returned to the eminent place, but it was far since the time of Henry Cooper and Muhammad Ali, when cigarette smoke hung stout in the air, absorbing in the eminent red seats.

It is simple to forget that in Great Britain women were banned in professional boxing until 1998.

On Friday, on the eve of the International Women’s Day, the comprehensive cast took the central scene and showed how far this sport went.

“A very proud moment in my career. This is something I will remember for the rest of my life, “she said after a press conference after the fight. “Just like Muhammad Ali boxed here.

“It’s just very special. Not only for yourself, the whole base. He just shows women’s boxer women when you have two great boxers that you can put on the card. “

Price was the best star of the series and now recalls a huge undisputed fight. The Welsh warrior believes that he can follow in the footsteps of Katie Taylor in terms of leaving a trace of this sport.

“You saw it with Katie Taylor, she has Ireland, I have Walia [behind me]. She is the Olympic champion, I am the Olympic champion and I really fell [to] Sell ​​stadiums. This is a dream and that’s what I want to do.

Mikaela Mayer or Sandy Ryan – who are fighting for the second time for the title WBO 29 March – are waiting. Or he would be an intriguing opponent in and outside the ring.

The verbal sparrings between Price and Mayer have already begun, after Price said that this week the American rejected the chance to fight her last year.

Meanwhile, Ryan would present the British clashes electrifying for all marbles.

Promoter Ben Shalom said that he and Price would call Mayer – Ryan, ensuring no time to build noise for the undisputed fight.

“This is a fight that women’s boxing needs,” said Shalom. “Gigantic fights must happen, this is what brings people to this sport, which is why people were interested today. Me and Lauren will go to Vegas in a few weeks, we will be in this fight.

“Mikaela said tonight, if she wins, she wants to be undisputed. I think it’s a fight that makes sense in boxing.

“Dana’s daddy is Turki Alalshikh”

Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.

“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.

“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.

“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?

“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.

“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.

“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”

Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.

“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.

Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.
