Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren Price: A Night to Remember
Okay, so picture this: March 7th, 2025, the Royal Albert Hall in London. The buzz was electric. Everyone was there for the Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren Price fight – a massive clash for the WBA, WBC, and IBF welterweight world titles. It was a seriously big deal, a historic night for women’s boxing in Britain, and honestly, I couldn’t miss it.
A Battle of Champions
We had Natasha Jonas, a legend. A two-weight unified world champion, an Olympic veteran – the whole package. She’s 40, a seasoned pro, and everyone was wondering if she still had that fire. Then there was Lauren Price, the rising star, a Tokyo Olympic gold medalist with an undefeated professional record. She was hungry, young, and ready to make a name for herself. It was experience versus youthful energy – a classic boxing matchup.
Lauren Price’s Stunning Victory
And the fight itself? Wow. Lauren Price completely dominated. It wasn't a close one; she won by unanimous decision (100-90, 98-91, 98-92). Her speed was incredible; she moved like a phantom. Her punches were precise, calculated, and relentless. Natasha fought bravely, she really did, but Lauren’s younger, faster pace was just too much. By the end, it was clear who the better boxer was on the night. Price’s tactical awareness shone through; she knew exactly what she was doing.
What’s Next?
So, where do we go from here? Lauren Price now holds three of the four major welterweight titles. Her next target is the WBO champion, Mikaela Mayer, who has a fight coming up against Sandy Ryan later this month. The winner of that one gets to fight Price – another massive unification fight that everyone will be talking about. As for Natasha Jonas, well, her future is a bit less clear. Retirement is certainly a possibility, but either way, her legacy in women's boxing is already secure. She’s a trailblazer, the first British woman to box at the Olympics – a true inspiration.
More Than Just One Fight
This wasn’t just about Jonas and Price, though. The whole card was amazing; it was an all-women’s boxing event, something you don’t see every day. The Royal Albert Hall has a history steeped in boxing, but to have a whole night dedicated to the incredible women of the sport was something special. Other stand-out fights included Caroline Dubois defending her WBC lightweight title and Karriss Artingstall battling for the British featherweight title. The energy in the room was infectious; you could feel the growth and excitement of women's boxing.
A Historic Night
The Natasha Jonas versus Lauren Price fight wasn’t just a boxing match; it was a statement. A statement about the talent and dedication within women's boxing, about the incredible progress the sport has made, and about the bright future that lies ahead. Lauren’s victory was a huge step towards becoming undisputed champion, and Natasha’s legacy as a legend is already cemented. It was a night that will go down in boxing history.
