Welsh star Lauren Price hopes that following her Olympic gold with a world title could have a Katie Taylor-like effect on her home country.

Lauren Price is the new WBA welterweight champion following a comprehensive victory over Jessica McCaskill in front of her home fans at the Cardiff International Arena.


Jessica McCaskill and her trainer-manager-husband Rick Ramos put their honeymoon plans on hold to prepare for Saturday’s fight with Lauren Price.

Lauren Price is drawing inspiration from the great Joe Calzaghe as she prepares to challenge Jessica McCaskill for the WBA welterweight title. The 29 year old on Saturday fights McCaskill at the Cardiff International Arena in Wales on the occasion of her first world-title fight, and the seventh fight of her professional career.

Lauren Price is already considering routes forward ahead of her world title challenge next month (May 11) against WBA welterweight champion Jessica McCaskill (13-3-1, 5KOs).

Olympic gold medalist Lauren Price has said that she is in a good place physically and mentally despite the added pressure of competing for a world title for the first time on May 11.

We don’t know if Wales in May is preferable to Croatia in April, but one thing’s for sure: Jessica McCaskill will be packing her bags and defending her WBA, IBO and Ring welterweight titles in Cardiff on May 11 after that usual wild ride that accompanies most title fights these days.
