Lauren Price returns home this November to defend her unified welterweight crown against Michaela Kotaskova, live on the BBC.
Lauren Price is heading back to Cardiff to defend her world titles. The unified welterweight champion will face Michaela Kotaskova in November in front of a home crowd.
The fight will be shown live on the BBC, putting one of women's boxing's biggest stars in front of a free-to-air audience. That is a major platform for a sport still fighting for mainstream attention.
Price's rise has been fast. The Welsh fighter went from Olympic gold to world champion, and every step has made her a bigger draw. Fighting in Cardiff adds to the occasion, with her home fans expected to turn the arena into a cauldron.
Kotaskova arrives as the challenger, knowing a win would be a huge upset. Price will be the clear favourite, but title fights rarely go to script. Keep an eye on Afroballers for fight-week updates and the full undercard as it is announced.
