After announcing a world title unification fight at the Royal Albert Hall, Natasha Jonas says the highly anticipated fight against Lauren Price is a stepping stone to where she wants to be.
March 7 could be her defining moment as a professional boxer. “It's a fight I've wanted for a long time. I think everyone knows I've been pushing for it. I think you call yourself world champion, you should fight anyone,” Price said.
“I'm in the pro game and I want to be the best, and the best has to fight the best and that's it.”
The verbal sparring between Jonas and Bryce began immediately after they both won their respective contests on the same card in December.
“Jonas came out and said I think I'm better than I am,” Price noted. “But that's just a show, the accolades I got as an amateur. I went to the Olympics, and I didn't get a medal. I won an Olympic gold medal, and I never lost a round.” As a professional yet.
“At the end of the day, you can do all the trash talk you want. And when the bell rings, on March 7, we'll see who comes out on top.”

“I'm confident every time. I always believe I can win every time. That's why I'm in the game and that's why I want to fight the best. It's going to be a great fight,” Jonas said. Sky Sports News.
“I respect everything Lauren has to offer but I think I'm better.
“I've been with what I think is the biggest of the best. There's nothing Lauren Price brings that I think scares me at all.”
