THE Royal Albert Hall will host a jam-packed night of women’s boxing THIS FRIDAY.
British rivals Natasha Jonas, 40, and Lauren Price, 30, will headline the night as they go head-to-head in a massive unification bout.
This matchup was set up by the British rivals’ respective world title wins in December.
The unbeaten Price will enter as the WBA champion, while Jonas, a multi-weight world champion, will bring the WBC and IBF titles to the capital venue – with all three on the line, as well as The Ring magazine title.
Price has gone 8-0 (2 KOs) as a professional and is building on her Olympic gold medal from Tokyo 2021.
She will be one of the biggest tests of boxing queen Jonas’ pro career, although the Liverpudlian – 10 years her senior – has vastly more professional experience (16-2-1, 9 KOs).
