LAUREN PRICE returns to the ring this weekend as she faces Bexcy Mateus in a defence of her welterweight world titles.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold-medallist holds the WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine titles at 147lbs and is undefeated so far as a professional.
Price is 7-0 as a pro, with her biggest win coming against Jessica McCaskill back in May.
It was on that night she picked up her world titles, but now she’s looking for more gold, and a win over Mateus could put her in a huge fight.
Natasha Jonas’ fight with Ivana Habazin for the IBF and WBC welterweight titles takes place on the same card, and the hope for promoters Boxxer is that Jonas and Price win their bouts to set up a fight between themselves.
