The fight between Wales’s Lauren Price and Spain’s Maria Llorente took place in Cardiff, with a large audience tuning in to watch on BBC 2 Wales as well as Sky Sports. This smart decision by her promoter Ben Shalom and his Boxxer organization ensured that the fight would attract a wide range of viewers.
Price’s life story, which includes being raised by her grandparents and working as a taxi driver in her late teens, allows her to connect with people from all walks of life. Additionally, her athletic skills as a former world kickboxing champion and international footballer with Wales make her a formidable opponent in the ring. Her partnership with Karriss Artingstall, a featherweight boxer and fellow southpaw, makes them an unbeatable duo.
Despite some questions about Price’s development and power, at just 29 years old, she appears to be on track to become a standout in the sport. Grounded and determined, Price’s journey will be closely followed and documented as she aims to dominate the sport. In an interview with Sky Sports after the fight, Price expressed her gratitude for the support she received and her desire to fight at the Principality Stadium to build a legacy and achieve greatness, much like Katie Taylor did for Ireland.
Price’s performance in the fight showed that she is on the right path to fulfilling her dreams and becoming a star in the world of boxing. Her determination and passion for the sport are evident, making it exciting to see how her career progresses as she aims to make a lasting impact in women’s boxing and pave the way for future generations of Welsh boxers.
