Lauren Price boxing career is on a serious roll. From Olympic glory to unifying three world titles in just a handful of fights, she’s not just ticking boxes — she’s smashing through them. And after the way she took apart Natasha Jonas recently, it’s time to start saying it louder: this might be the woman to carry British women’s boxing into a brand new era.
But let’s rewind a bit. Because her win over Jonas didn’t come out of nowhere — far from it. Her rise has been calculated, relentless, and seriously impressive.
From Kickboxing Champion to Boxing Gold
Long before she stepped into the pro ring, Lauren Price was already a multi-sport machine. Not everyone knows this, but she started in kickboxing and became a four-time world champion as a teen. She even played football for Wales. That athleticism and mindset translated perfectly into the ring when she shifted focus to boxing full-time.
Her amateur boxing career? Absolutely stacked.
- 2014: Commonwealth Games bronze
- 2018: Commonwealth Games gold
- 2019: World Championships bronze
- 2019: European Games gold
- 2020 (technically held in 2021): Olympic Gold in Tokyo
Her run at the Olympics wasn’t just dominant—it was clinical. Footwork, movement, timing. You name it, she had it. She made world-class opponents look ordinary. That’s when people really started whispering: She could be something special.

The Start of Something Big: Turning Pro
In 2022, Price made the leap into the paid ranks — and the buzz was real. She signed with BOXXER and Sky Sports Boxing, which showed straight away she wasn’t here to mess about.
Her debut came against Valgerdur Gudstensdottir. Not exactly a household name, but a solid test. Price dominated from the first bell — sharp, slick, levels above. You could already see that Olympic polish shining through.
Then came fight after fight, each one stepping up in quality:
- Naomi Mannes: Undefeated going in, outclassed by Price’s southpaw angles.
- Kirstie Bavington: A tough, rugged European champion — and Price schooled her.
- Lolita Muzeya: Aggressive, heavy hands… still couldn’t lay a glove on her.
Each opponent brought something different, but the outcome stayed the same. Clean, calculated victories. Footwork that had opponents swinging at shadows. Timing that was almost unfair. She wasn’t just winning — she was learning, adapting, and climbing the ranks faster than most could keep up with.
And all of it led to the big one…
The Jonas Fight: A Coming-Out Party
When the Jonas fight was announced, some raised eyebrows. People said Jonas was the wrong opponent. Too experienced, too tough, too soon.
But that’s nonsense.
Jonas did exactly what you’re supposed to do against a slick southpaw: pressure, feints, cutting angles, working the body. And it still wasn’t enough. Because Lauren Price was just better.
From round one, it was a showcase. Ring IQ, movement, shot selection. She made a seasoned veteran look like a step behind for most of the night. And to do that to Natasha Jonas—a fighter with one of the most respected CVs in British women’s boxing—that says everything.
Sky Sports had a proper breakdown of the fight here.
That win wasn’t just about titles (although yes—she now holds three major world belts at welterweight). It was a statement. A “here I am” moment to the whole boxing world.
What’s Next for Lauren Price?
So where does she go now?
Undisputed has to be the goal. She’s only missing the WBA belt. And there’s no reason to think she won’t go after it next.
A rematch with Jonas? Doubt it. Word going around (though not confirmed yet) is that this might be Jonas’s final year in the sport. She might have one more fight in her, maybe wants to go out on a high — but a Price rematch probably isn’t on the cards.
Other names to watch for?
- Jessica McCaskill – Still a big name, even if she’s more active at 140 now.
- Summer Lynn / Ivana Habazin – Both ranked highly, both experienced.
- International options – With Price’s growing profile, a US fight is looking more and more likely.
If she does crack America, expect fireworks. Her style is made for the big stage: clean, composed, charismatic. Think Vegas lights. Think prime-time Sky Sports slot. Think history in the making.
The Verdict: Lauren Price Is the Future
She’s got the pedigree. She’s got the titles. She’s unbeaten. She’s technically gifted. And now, she’s a unified world champion.
It’s not a matter of “can Lauren Price be the face of British boxing?” It’s more like—who’s going to stop her?
She’s everything this next generation of fighters should be. Grounded. Talented. Driven. And most importantly—still improving.
The Lauren Price boxing career is only just heating up. And if you’re not already on the bandwagon… it’s time to hop on.
What do you reckon?
Is Price the next big thing in British boxing? Was her win over Jonas a changing of the guard? Or are we still just scratching the surface?
