LAUREN PRICE faces Jessia McCaskill in what will be her FIRST crack at a world title.
Nearly two years after making her professional debut, the 2020 Olympic gold medallist will challenge for the WBA and Ring Magazine welterweight titles.
The former Wales women’s footie star has gone a perfect 6-0 in her brief pro career and punched her ticket to a world title shot with a win over Silvia Bortot last December.
But she’ll be pushed to the absolute limit by veteran McCaskill, who has been in the ring with the likes of Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron to name a few.

- Price’s bid to become a world champion will take place on May 11.
- The fight will take place in front of Welsh fans galore as it’ll be staged at the 7,500-capacity Utilita Arena in Cardiff.
