Jessica McCaskill looks to hold onto welterweight gold in enemy territory as she defends the WBA and Ring welterweight titles against Wales’ Lauren Price. The fight is in the Cardiff International Arena.
A multi-time Golden Gloves winner following a late start in boxing, McCaskill lost against Katie Taylor for lightweight gold but would win the WBA and WBC super lightweight belts. In the streets of Oklahoma, McCaskill outworked trailblazer Cecilia Braekhus to become the undisputed welterweight champion.
“CasKILLA” attempted to become undisputed at super lightweight, forcing the removal of several belts at 147. She lost against Cameron and, in an attempt to regain undisputed status, fought Sandy Ryan to a controversial draw. May believed Ryan won the contest. McCaskill now goes from an English fighter to facing a Welsh one.
“I don’t know much about Price, but when it comes to fighters from the U.K., the expectation is usually lots of backpedaling and holding,” McCaskill said. "I don’t know if this will be the case, but coming to Wales means Price is hopefully going to want to put on a good show. That’s exactly what I want because I plan on doing the same. I’m here to steal all of her fans. I’m going to show her what it takes to be a champion, and the belts will be coming back to America with me.”

Price won gold in the 2020 Olympics. The former football player won the British welterweight title in 2023, a first for British women. The MBE-appointed fighter beat Silvia Bortot via points to secure a title shot.
“Jessica McCaskill is the current champion. She’s game, experienced, and strong, but I’ll be 100% ready for whatever she brings on the night. I believe in my ability,” Price said. “I back myself, and like I said earlier, I can’t wait to bring those world titles back home to Wales, and hopefully, this will line me up to bring more massive nights back to Wales in the near future.”
