Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren Price – Boxing Betting Prediction
NATASHA Jonas and Lauren Price go head to head tonight in a world title unification at welterweight between two established names of British female boxing.
Two-weight queen Jonas (7/2) is a respected veteran who turned pro in 2017 and has battled some of the best and brightest of the surrounding weight classes over those eight years. Price (1/5) has moved swiftly since her 2022 debut, two years after picking up Olympic gold at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Jonas has had 19 bouts, Price just eight contests. This is a battle of youth versus experience. With quality on an even playing field, Price’s freshness is likely to be key. Jonas has enjoyed success at 154, but has travelled up from super-featherweight with age.
Therefore, Price is the bigger, stronger woman having pitted her skills at 147 since the start. Jonas is undefeated since a 2021 loss to Katie Taylor, so Price will have to remind her how to lose again. Mikaela Mayer thought she had done just that at the start of 2024. The Liverpudlian got the verdict on home territory, taking home the IBF strap she defends here.
Price only has a couple of stoppages but she’s strong and a KO/TKO at 15/4 is worth a look. Price has a sharp punch, the bit between her teeth and is able to set a strong pace across the 10 rounds. Jonas is now 40 years old and may find the Welsh woman’s rumbling engine difficult to repel down the stretch.
Failing that, Lauren Price to win by decision or technical decision at 1/2 and Price by unanimous decision at 5/6 indicates wily Jonas’ ability to see out the rounds and hear the final bell.
