Lauren Price speaking to Sky Sports after her unanimous decision win over Natasha Jonas: “Stepping out here tonight, what a venue, we’ve made history. I want to say a massive thank you to Natasha, perfect dance partner, complete honour to share the ring with her. I respect her and what she’s done not just for women’s boxing, but boxing. Roll on what’s next.

“Obviously Tash was quick to start off, it was all about using my angles and my speed, my faints. I thought my right hook worked pretty well tonight, and like always using my feet. They helped me in the amateurs, that’s what won me my Olympic gold medal, and it’s going to get me to the top in the pro’s.

“I want to go back to Wales and box in Cardiff, I’d love the winner of that [Mikaela Mayer v Sandy Ryan].

“Tash is one of the best in the division, I honestly believe I can become undisputed. I want to go on and create a great legacy. I want to follow in the footsteps of the Katie Taylor’s, I’m Welsh, I’m an Olympic champion, I’ve got a nation behind me. The winner of Mayer v Sandy I’d like next.”
