Although they both insist that it is not personal between them, the accumulation between Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price was at least tactful.

With three lanes to get – the titles of Jonas WBC and IFB, as well as the WBA Price welterweight belt – actual prizes are obvious. But kick a little deeper below the surface and it becomes clear why this fight means much more than just titles.

Price (8-0, 2 KO) and Jonas (16-2-1, 9 KO) will direct the card on the eve of the International Women’s Day at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London (Sky Sports, 18:00 GMT)

The winner will join such as Henry Cooper, Nameem Hamed, Frank Bruno and Lennox Lewis to raise his hand on the spot. What’s more, they will be a one step closer to the undisputed fight with Mikael Mayer or Sandy Ryan, who are fighting for the second time on March 29.

The verbal there and back was tight. Price does not believe that Jonas wants to fight her, while Jonas does not think that this will be her most hard test. The price is undefeated as a professional, but Jonas quickly pointed out his lack of experience, and the fact that she was not in the trenches of a great fight.

The fight was also bothering as a potential “guardian change”. 40 -year -old Jonas considered his pension last year. But if the “Miss GB” can keep the future younger opponent, she could fight for all the lanes in a duel that would lead her heritage to a higher level.

But the price, 30, is more than its skills. “Too teenage, too rapid, too good” is her scream.

“I just think there are a lot of experiences I have gone through. But there are a few things about them in the ring [Price] He was not and experienced as a professional, “said Jonas ESPN.

“Do you think you’re faster than Katie Taylor or Caroline Dubois? These are the types of speed to which I am used to. It is rapid, but it is rapid at 75 [kilogram] Boxer against another. I know what a post is. I was with someone who has the fastest hands in the game. “

Commonwealth and Olympic Gold Medalist, Price also said that she could fight for the title of world champion in her first professional fight, which Jonas scoffs.

“When she says [I’m] Not as good as [Mikaela Mayer] … I just think that he probably says it only for cameras or an attempt to enter my skin, but she knows how good I am. This is nothing personal. It’s a great fight and I respect her, but I believe that I am better in all areas, ‘said Price ESPN.

“I was in every amateur tournament and I am the most decorated amateur who left GB. I faced Southpaws, orthodox, people on the front foot, rear foot, heavier girls.

“Yes, he has more experience at Pro Ring, but when I look at the caliber, which is in addition to Katie Taylor, except for Mayer and a girl who knocked her out [Viviane Obenauf] … I don’t judge anyone who she fought. “

Despite her excellent experience and the fact that she has two lanes, Jonas claims to raise the weaker tag.

Jonas’s coach, Joe Gallagher, aimed at those who “bought” to noise around Price and rejected their warrior.

“She was dropped as an amateur, she was dropped in sparrings, it is not so indestructible [force] That everyone is trying to create a narrative – said Gallagher on Tuesday’s media.

“This is not me out of emotion … I just think there are so many” world minds “, boxing people who stay in this buyer.

“Tasha has been beaten, but we do not do, we are unbelievable, [that] We didn’t lose a second of the round.

“Lauren will lose the round on Friday evening and she will lose the fight. Select my words, it will happen and I want to see how everyone will come out and give [Jonas] Her flowers and apologize for overlooking her for this fight. “
