Lauren Price and Natasha Jonas both feature on the same card in Liverpool next weekend
Lauren Price has once again reiterated her desire to fight Natasha Jonas as she revealed she wanted them to face off next weekend. Jonas will make her long-awaited return to the ring when she takes on WBC belt-holder Ivana Habazin at the Exhibition Centre on Saturday night. The 40-year-old hasn’t fought since she retained her IBF welterweight title with a close split-decision win over Mikaela Mayer at the M&S Bank Arena back in January.
“Different things have panned out, and boxing and politics are one thing in pro boxing, and that’s the reason why I rate the Olympic gold medal so highly because to be stood on that podium, the best need to fight the best, but in pro boxing, people avoid one another. “If you’re a world champion, then I believe you should fight anyone. I have full respect for Tash for what she’s done for boxing and women’s sport in general, and I believe it’s a massive fight for the fans next year.
