Lauren Price secured her first world title in a remarkable fashion, defeating Jessica McCaskill in a ninth-round technical decision at Utilita Arena in Cardiff, Wales. In only her seventh professional fight, Price showcased her exceptional hand speed and strategic boxing skills, outclassing McCaskill throughout the bout.
The fight took a turn in the ninth round when referee Michael Alexander halted the match due to a severe swelling near McCaskill's eye caused by a head clash. As the clash was deemed accidental, the judges' scorecards determined the outcome, declaring Price the new WBA world welterweight champion with unanimous scores of 90-82.
