This was not quite a passing of the torch. Rather, Lauren Price snatched it from Natasha Jonas, along with the veteran’s world titles, ushering a new era in women’s boxing.
Price entered London’s Royal Albert Hall with plentiful accolades already: an unbeaten professional record, an Olympic gold medal to her name, and the WBA world title. Yet the Welsh fighter wanted more, and she took what she wanted with a classy win: 98-93, 100-90, 98-92 read the scorecards, as Price was crowned unified welterweight champion.
