The Welsh warrior, Price, is squaring off for the WBA, IBO, and Ring Magazine World Welterweight belts, turning the Utilita Arena Cardiff into a battleground on May 11th.
Welsh fans, get this: the whole shebang’s streaming live and free on BBC Wales, a cheeky bonus from a deal with Sky Sports, who’s also airing it across the UK and Ireland.
Price, the pride of Ystrad Mynach, hasn’t just breezed through the ranks; she’s stormed them without dropping a round. But McCaskill’s no walkover. She’s a dual-division dominator who snatched the welterweight crown from Cecilia Brækhus, ending a decade-long reign.
Price is buzzing about the support: “It’s ace to have BBC Wales and Sky Sports backing me. From Olympic glory to chasing world title dreams, they’re with me every step.” Big-ups to BOXXER, Sky Sports, and BBC Wales for making it happen.
BBC Wales’ sport boss, Carolyn Hitt, is all in, proud to showcase Price’s shot at history to the Welsh crowd, free of charge. Ben Shalom from BOXXER and Sky Sports’ Rob Selmes are just as stoked, keen on bringing this monumental bout to every Welsh home.
UK and Irish fans, Sky Sports has you covered, while Wales tunes in for free on BBC Wales.
