Olympic champion Lauren Price’s decision to train as a professional with GB Boxing can inspire the stars of tomorrow in the same way as did Anthony Joshua and Carl Froch.
That is the view of Matt Holt, chief executive of GB Boxing, whose organisation has announced an initiative to continue to work with some of their boxers after they turn pro.
Price, who won middleweight gold in Tokyo, and partner Karriss Artingstall, featherweight bronze medalist at the same Games, are the first two on board.
