Olympic gold medallist and unified world champion Lauren Price MBE (9-0, 2 KOS) is rapidly building a legacy as one of the greatest fighters of her generation. 

The 31-year-old can already stake her claim as one of Wales’ most decorated athletes of all time having excelled not only in boxing, but also kickboxing and football. 

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics she became the first boxer from Wales and only the second ever female from Great Britain to win a gold medal, and as a professional Price became Wales’ first ever female world champion when defeating former undisputed champion Jessica McCaskill. 

Most recently, Price triumphed over Natasha Jonas in a landmark bout at the Royal Albert Hall to unify the welterweight world titles, and has since been calling for an undisputed fight with WBO ruler Mikaela Mayer.   

Before an undisputed fight is possible, Price must first overcome her mandatory challenger Stephanie Pineiro Aquino (10-0, 3 KOs). 

Currently ranked #3 in the world by The Ring, Aquino is unbeaten in her ten professional contests and is the reigning WBA Interim World Welterweight Champion. 

Known as ‘The Medicine’, Aquino has been tipped as the latest boxing star from Puerto Rico following in the footsteps of famous fighting sisters Amanda and Cindy Serrano. 

Aquino can expect a lively reception in Cardiff as Price fights at home in Wales for the first time since her historic win over McCaskill in 2024.
