Mayer retains title with points win over Briton Ryan
World champion Mikaela Mayer outpointed Briton Sandy Ryan for the second time to defend her WBO welterweight title in Las Mayer, 34, was the deserved winner in an entertaining rematch between the two bitter some close early rounds, she dominated the middle of the fight with her higher punch output, shot selection and body 31, came back strong towards the end, landing some hurtful punches as blood streamed down Mayer's face following a clash of heads at the with scores of 97-93, 97-93 and 98-92, the Californian won by a unanimous decision over 10 rounds."I thought it was close. I thought I was doing well into the start and then I got into a fight," she said. Mayer dethroned Ryan on points in September, a result which was marred by the Englishwoman being hit by a can of red paint before leaving for the venue in New York."The women are getting better and better - me and Sandy just set the new bar on what competitive fights should look like," said Mayer, who extends her record to 21 wins from 23 called for an undisputed fight against Welshwoman Lauren Price, who holds the three other welterweight world titles, next. Mayer settles bitter feud Derby fighter Ryan - who said she fought with too much emotion and anger following the "hit and run" paint attack in the first encounter – cut a relaxed figure for the rematch as she casually strutted to the ring to One Love by Bob Marley and the defending champion was equally composed as both boxers made a quick start. Mayer doubled up on her jab and controlled the distance but was countered by Ryan's efficient timing and connected with a right and left in the fourth, before landed flashy combinations and hurtful uppercuts to dominate the fifth and sixth as world champions Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson watched from ringside. Her former trainer Kay Koroma was in Ryan's corner. "Come on, wake up," he told his fighter.A dispute over the training team, with Mayer claiming her opponent "stole" her coach, is what first sparked a feud between the two Mayer in complete control, it appeared Ryan - who had just three stoppage wins to her name - needed a knockout heading towards the end of the bout. Ryan landed a thudding right and uppercut on Mayer's injured eye, but she replied with some clean power punches, in a terrific, all-action ninth. As expected, there was no easing of animosity or embrace at the final bell. Ryan shrugged at the result as an exuberant Mayer celebrated the victory. 'It's time for undisputed' Mayer made her intentions clear in the post-fight interview. "Now it's time for me to move on and go for undisputed," she WBC and IBF champion Price staked her claim as the world's best welterweight by beating Natasha Jonas to unify the division earlier this is well known in the UK, having competed in Britain in four consecutive bouts between October 2022 and January undisputed bout against Price could take place either Stateside or at a UK arena, potentially in Ryan was left licking her wounds once more, there are still big fights in prospect for a fighter who has proven she belongs at boxing's top her past four fights, Ryan has drawn a unification bout against Jessica McCaskill, beaten three-weight champion Terri Harper and lost two close encounters against Mayer."I'm going to sit down with my team and we'll have a talk," she said.

Price targets Mayer or Ryan - and a fight in Wales
Lauren Price defeated China's Li Qian by unanimous decision to win gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics [Getty Images] Lauren Price is targeting a return to Wales against either Mikaela Mayer or Sandy Ryan after becoming unified world champion. The 30-year-old outclassed Natasha Jonas at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday night to capture the 40-year-old's WBC and IBF belts in just her ninth professional fight. The Olympic gold medallist - who also retained her WBA title - now hopes to fight the winner of the rematch between Mayer and Ryan in Las Vegas last this month. Advertisement "I've been told I could possibly be boxing in August," Price told BBC Sport Wales. "I want to come back to Wales, if it's not the winner of Mayer or Sandy next, I want that by the end of the year. "I want to be active, I'm motivated and driven and I believe I can go all the way." WBO welterweight champion Mayer wrote on social media after the all-female card in London that she expects to fight Price this year. Mayer congratulated both Price and Jonas "for the rumble", adding: "All the fights on the card were highly entertaining and it was a total WIN for women's boxing!

Double Olympic champion Claressa Shields also congratulated Price on her victory over Liverpool's Jonas and hinted she could share the ring with the Welshwoman at the higher weight of 154lb. That is a 7lb increase on the limit for Price's bout with Jonas. "I thought every judge should've had it 90-100! Price was super dominant! Congrats girl," Shields wrote on X. When asked if she would consider fighting Price, Shields added: "She's too green, my skills are too much for her. But hey 154, I think we can see it." Advertisement Price was mesmerising in her victory over Jonas, winning emphatically 98-93, 100-90 and 98-92 on the judges' scorecards. The 2020 Olympic champion feels her attributes will take her to the top of the professional ranks. "I'll remember this night for the rest of my life," she said. "Tasha's a great fighter, but I knew my speed and my feet, that's what won me the Olympic gold medal and I feel it's going to get me to the top in the pros. "It started with [Jessica] McCaskill in May and I just feel like I'm getting better and better. "I'll speak to [promoter] Ben [Shalom] and I want to go back to Wales, there's nothing quite like boxing at home, but this was very special and I'll remember it for the rest of my life." Advertisement Her display against Jonas earned widespread praise, with former super featherweight world champion Barry Jones stating Price was "punch perfect". Boxing pundit Steve Bunce told the 5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce podcast: "Lauren Price showed and proved that she might just be the face of women's boxing going forward."

Lauren Price dominates Natasha Jonas, becomes unified welterweight champion
Lauren Price scored a unanimous points victory over Natasha Jonas inside a raucous Royal Albert Hall on Friday night to become the unified welterweight champion and hold the WBC, IBF and WBA welterweight world titles. Before the fight, the 30-year-old Welshwoman said she would be 'too good, too quick, too young' for Jonas, 10 years her senior, and so it proved on a night that could be Jonas' final outing as a professional boxer. Advertisement From the first bell, Price's electric speed and strength showed as she caught Jonas with a backhand at the end of their first exchange. By the end of the second round, Price had her opponent staggering backward across the ring after landing a flurry of punches, and Jonas went back to her corner looking as though she knew it was going to be a long night. In front of a huge Welsh contingent who could be heard throughout the 10 rounds chanting, 'Pricey, Pricey,' it took until the fifth round for Jonas to unleash her backhand, and when she did, Price barely seemed to notice. Anything Jonas did appeared to bounce off Price, and anything Price landed seemed liable to end the night early for Jonas. Was this a case of Price simply being too good or Jonas reaching that point that eventually comes to all fighters, where they can see the shots but their body can't execute them? Perhaps a bit of both. In the ninth round, Price had Jonas on the canvas, but it was ruled no knockdown by the referee. Not that it mattered. Price knew she dominated from start to finish, and Jonas seemed incapable of changing the outcome. The scorecards after the final bell reflected Price's dominance, reading 98-93, 100-90, 98-92 in her favor. Lauren Price becomes the unified WBC, IBF and WBA welterweight world champion! 💥 Just listen to that reaction 🔉 — Sky Sports Boxing (@SkySportsBoxing) March 7, 2025 Next for the Welshwoman could be a fight against the winner of the rematch between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron for the title of undisputed champion. After this showing, there is likely more to come for her, too. For Jonas, a winner of multiple world titles at multiple weights, there will be much to discuss with her team about what's next. Her trainer, Joe Gallagher, has made it no secret that he is keen for her to retire after a career that firmly places her as one of Britain's greatest boxers and someone who has undoubtedly helped take women's boxing on a rapid ascent to where it is now: filling the Royal Albert Hall and drawing television audiences. Advertisement The night was billed as a historic one for the sport — the first time women's boxing has headlined in the Royal Albert Hall on a card of five women's fights. At least four of those promised to be competitive (the late pullout of Fran Hennessy's opponent left her facing Gemma Ruegg on just two days' notice, an incredibly tall order). But in reality, it took until the penultimate fight of the night for the evening to catch fire. That was Caroline Dubois against South Korean challenger Bo Mi Re Shin for the WBC world lightweight title. Shin spent eight rounds soaking up everything Dubois had to offer before launching attacks of her own and eventually enticing the champion into an all-out war. The 10th round was nonstop action, sending the crowd into raptures and bringing the fans to their feet to applaud at the final bell. Dubois survived, and Shin taught the 24-year-old some valuable lessons in her 12th professional fight. Before that, there was a closely fought contest between Chloe Watson and Jasmina Zapotoczna for the European flyweight title, with Zapotoczna taking the win on a split decision, while Karriss Artingstall made relatively easy work of Raven Chapman to become the inaugural British featherweight champion. Friday night will go down as a historic occasion for women's boxing, no matter the result of the main event. But for Jonas and Price, the result is likely to play a crucial role in where their careers go next.

Lauren Prices dominates Natasha Jonas in masterclass performance to unify three welterweight titles
Lauren Price produced a masterclass on her biggest night yet. The Welshwoman dominated Natasha Jonas to win a wide unanimous decision (100-90, 98-92, 98-93) and unify the WBA, WBC and IBF welterweight titles on Friday evening at the Royal Albert Hall in London, United Kingdom. Jonas (16-3-1, 9 KOs) was Uncrowned's No. 6 pound-for-pound women's boxer in the world coming into the bout, however Price's hands and footwork ultimately proved far too sharp for Jonas to compete against, as the newly unified champ put the Liverpudlian on the end of her straight punches all night. Price (9-0, 2 KOs), a 2024 Olympic gold medalist, consistently landed with combinations and moved out of range before Jonas could fire back, finding particular success with the right-hook counter whenever Jonas attempted to close the distance. "I think emotions are running high right now, and [trainer] Joe [Gallagher] has been asking me to retire for a very long time," Jonas said in her post-fight interview. "And I actually enjoy sitting next to you, [Sky Sports broadcasters] Anna [Woolhouse] and Johnny [Nelson], and commentating on everyone else's performance. So maybe we look at that afterward." In the night's chief support, Bo Mi Re Shin (18-3-3, 10 KOs) rallied late to tighten things up but ultimately fell short to Caroline Dubois (11-0-1, 5 KOs) in their WBC lightweight title bout. Dubois won a close majority decision over Shin to retain her world championship. Uncrowned had it scored 96-94 for Dubois. Elsewhere on the card, Karriss Artingstall (7-0, 1 KO) earned a career-best win over Raven Chapman (9-2, 2 KOs) to win the inaugural British featherweight title, and Jasmina Zapotoczna (9-1, 0 KOs) defeated Chloe Watson (8-1, 0 KOs) by split decision to capture the European flyweight crown.
