Lauren Price: World welterweight champion says she will fight in Cardiff in April (2026)

World welterweight champion Lauren Price announces her return to the ring in Cardiff on April 4th, marking a significant milestone in her career. The 31-year-old, a former Olympic champion from Bargoed, Wales, has been eagerly awaiting her next fight after a dominant points win over Natasha Jonas at the Royal Albert Hall last March. Price's journey to becoming an undisputed champion by the end of the year has been a challenging one, with a 13-month gap between fights due to the politics of boxing. Despite the delay, Price remains determined and is back in training, sparring, and ready to put on a show for her fans. The fight will be promoted by Ben Shalom, the founder and CEO of Boxxer, and will take place at the Utilita Arena, a 7,500-capacity venue in Cardiff. Price's unwavering commitment to her Welsh heritage is evident in her desire to fight in Wales, alongside up-and-coming Welsh talent. She aims to follow in the footsteps of Joe Calzaghe, a legendary boxer from Wales, by selling out stadiums and establishing herself as a true icon in the sport.
