Price v Jonas unification fight agreed for March
Lauren Price and Natasha Jonas will fight each other in a mouth-watering world title unification bout on 7 March 2025 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The British rivals both successfully retained their welterweight world titles with wins in Liverpool last weekend.
Wales’ Price, 30, defended her WBA title against Bexcy Mateus, dropping the Colombian three times before the referee stopped the contest in the third round.
IBF champion Jonas, 40, added the WBC title, outclassing Ivana Habazin over 10 rounds to become a two-weight unified champion.
The winner between Price and Jonas would then likely target WBO champion Mikaela Mayer in a fight to become the undisputed world welterweight champion.
About 4,000 people were at the Exhibition Centre to watch Saturday’s fight card, but a meeting between two of British boxing’s brightest and best female fighters is sure to pack out the Royal Albert Hall which can host more than 5,000 fight fans.
