Price Calls for Shields Fight After Beat on Points

In a stunning comeback victory over Stephanie Pineiro, Lauren Price secured her fifth world title in Cardiff. The 31-year-old welterweight fighter showcased the resilience that has cemented her status as one of the best boxers alive. Price's fight against Pineiro was particularly gruelling, with the Puerto Rican being a former unbeaten contender who had been looking to make an impact.

However, Price proved she could handle even the toughest opponents by dominating the first two rounds and finishing strong in the middle rounds. In an interview after the bout, Price spoke candidly about her desire for future fights against Shields, saying: 'I want the biggest fights in boxing, and what a great honour it would be to share the ring with Shields. It makes for a great fight, but not just one fight.

I said to her tonight, 'Let's do it, I'll come to America and then you come to Wales,' and she shook on it. Shields echoed Price’s sentiments, saying: 'When you are an Olympic champion you are a special fighter. Me and you have talked online and me and you can make it happen.

You did great tonight. ' Shields also hinted at the possibility of a meeting in 2026, emphasizing that any future fight would likely be at middleweight. Price's victory over Pineiro was no walk in the park.
