Welsh Olympic star Lauren Price will defend her WBA welterweight title in Liverpool against Colombian contender Bexcy Mateus.
If Price comes through, she will likely fight the bill-topper on the December 14 show at Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre, Natasha Jonas, who clashes with Ivana Habazin.
Price is 7-0 (1 KO) and defeated Jessica McCaskill in Cardiff in May.
The gold medallist is 30 and from Ystrad Mynach and yet to lose a round as a professional. Mateus is the WBA’s No. 5 and is 7-0 (6 KOs), but fighting outside of Colombia for the first time.
“I’m excited to be out defending my belts to finish what has been a big year for me,” said Price. “I have full respect for Mateus. I’ll prove I’m the best in the division and I won’t let anything, or anyone stand in my way of becoming undisputed.”
Added to the bill is an interesting junior middleweight clash between Ireland’s 15-0 (14 KOs) Stephen McKenna and Bournemouth’s 14-7 (7 KOs) Lee Cutler. McKenna won a three-round battle with Joe Laws last time out, while Cutler has been waiting all year for a date, and has been working with coach Josh Pritchard as part of McGuigan’s Gym.
English cruiserweight champion Viddal Riley, 11-0 (6 KOs), returns from a rib injury suffered when defeating Mikael Lawal and super middleweight Mark Jeffers, 18-0 (5 KOs), also sees action.
Mason Cartwright, a 20-4-1 (8 KOs) junior middleweight, is also on the show, as is 8-0 (1 KO) Frankie Stringer.
Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom said: “It’s a huge night for the women’s welterweight division with three world champions in action. Natasha Jonas is back in her hometown for a must-win unification fight against Ivana Habazin and Lauren Price defends her world titles against unbeaten contender Bexcy Mateus. The battle for undisputed is on. If Natasha and Lauren both win on December 14th, it will set the stage for a massive ‘Battle of Britain’ world title unification match up next year.”
