Lauren Price MBE is set to headline a monumental evening in Cardiff as she vies for the WBA, IBO, and Ring Magazine World Welterweight Titles against Jessica McCaskill on Saturday, May 11th. This event will stream live on various platforms including Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, BBC Wales locally, and Peacock in the USA.
Lauren Price, an Olympic gold medalist and Welsh boxing icon, aims to continue her legacy by possibly becoming the first Welsh woman to claim a world champion title in boxing as she faces McCaskill at Cardiff’s Utilita Arena.
The event will not only highlight Price’s talents but also shine a light on emerging Welsh boxers, giving them a stage to demonstrate their prowess.
Among the promising talents, Rhys Edwards remains undefeated with a record of 15-0 and will face Thomas Patrick Ward, a seasoned fighter with a record of 34-1-1, in a match that could propel him into title contention.
Edwards, a native of Penygraig, is fighting in Wales for the first time since 2022 after a series of wins on the road, while Ward looks to rebuild momentum after a recent victory.
Supporting bouts include appearances by Kyran Jones and Kane Shepherd, both from Gary Lockett’s gym, who are set to continue their undefeated streaks in their respective fights.
Additionally, Moses Jolly from Swansea aims to make a significant impact in the heavyweight division, and Mark Jeffers, an undefeated English Super Middleweight Champion, will also feature on the card, showcasing his formidable boxing skills.
