Price v Jonas: Natasha Jonas a happy underdog against Lauren Price

Responding to Jonas’ comments about pressure, Price says she is used to expectation as an Olympic champion.

“Take age out of it, I know I am better in all areas,” Price said.

“I will admit Tasha is my toughest test, but I believe she will bring another level of my game out and I rise again.”

Price has won all eight of her pro fights, but has 11 fewer bouts than her experienced opponent.

Nicknamed ‘Miss GB’, Jonas was the first female boxer to represent Great Britain at an Olympic Games when she did so in 2012.

Jonas has won five different world titles in two weight divisions in the last three years, with an overall record of 16 wins, two losses and one draw.

Price is yet to see a round scored against her in the professional ranks.

“I love being the first,” Jonas said of the potential to end Price’s unbeaten record.

“The first is something that nobody can take away. I’ve been here before and you’ve got to be careful what you wish for.”

Jonas against Price will be held on International Women’s Day and the undercard will be made up entirely of female boxers.

WBC lightweight champion Caroline Dubois will feature, Olympian Cindy Ngamba will make her debut and world title challenger Raven Chapman will face Karriss Artingstall at featherweight.
