Lauren Price: Claressa Shields calls out Welsh boxer for blockbuster fight


Three-weight world champion Claressa Shields has called out Lauren Price for a blockbuster fight at middleweight.

The American issued her challenge in response to the Welsh fighter saying Shields “would have to come down” in weight, but what a “great fight” it would make.

“I’d love to do a two-fight, three-fight [deal], it’d be amazing,” Price told Betfred.

Shields – a five-division champion and one of the greatest female boxers of all-time – responded to Price on social media platform X.

“We both won Olympic gold medals at 75kg aka 165 pounds. I’d gladly welcome a showdown with you at 165 pounds,” said the 30-year-old.

“And I’ll show you why I was able to win back-to-back golds and you weren’t.”
