Wales’s boxing ace Lauren Price will return to the ring for the first time in 16 months in Hungary next week. The Tokyo hopeful will be part of an eight-strong GB team competing at the Bocskai Memorial Tournament in Debrecen (8-12 February).

Wales’ world champ Lauren Price will again launch her bid for Olympic glory in London next April. The Boxing Road to Tokyo European Olympic Qualifying event has been rescheduled for April 22-26 at the Copper Box Arena.

Lauren Price is the world No 1 – and that’s official. The 26-year-old middleweight is top of her division in the new rankings after going unbeaten for almost two years.

World boxing champion Lauren Price was ready to realise her ambition of reaching an Olympic Games when the coronavirus swept in to scupper her plans in March. The 26-year-old from Newport was less than 24 hours away from fighting for her place in Tokyo at a qualifying tournament in London before organisers determined it too risky for the tournament to continue. Instead of basking in the glory of another momentous moment in her career, Price headed for lockdown in her flat near the GB training base in Sheffield, with team-mate Kariss Artingstall for company.

Lauren Price insists she has no concerns about resuming training as she rebuilds towards an appearance at the delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Wales’ amateur world champion is among 12 elite boxers who will return to training in Sheffield next week as the sport becomes the latest to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic. Members of the GB boxing squad have been in lockdown since the abandonment of the Olympic qualifying tournament in London in March when the scale of the health crisis became apparent.

Welsh boxing Olympic hopeful Lauren Price has thanked her fans for their support after the abandonment of her qualification route. The Welsh world, European and Commonwealth champion – who would arguably have been Wales’ best chance of a gold medal in Tokyo later this year – was meant to be competing on Tuesday at the Copper Box Arena in London. But the event, which had already begun, was suspended after Monday night’s session because of the coronavirus outbreak. The Road to Tokyo tournament began on Saturday but was moved behind closed doors on Sunday.

Rosie Eccles admitted she was “heartbroken” after losing her opening bout in the Boxing Road to Tokyo Olympic qualifying event at the Copper Box Arena on Sunday. Eccles lost a split points decision to Russian fourth seed Saadat Dalgatova and the Welsh welterweight told Boxing News: “I don’t know what to say to be honest with you, I’m absolutely heartbroken. “I knew what to do to combat her style, but one way or another, according to the judges, I didn’t do that.

Wales’ trio of world class amateur boxers are all safely on the first stage of their road to this year’s Tokyo Olympic. Recently crowned world champion Lauren Price, Rosie Eccles and Sammy Lee have all made the Great Britain team for the Tokyo Olympic qualifier at the Copper Box in London in five weeks’ time. It means Wales will have three fighters in the group of eight men and five women who will carry the fight for GB. They will be part of more than 350 boxers from over 40 countries who will compete for 77 places at Tokyo 2020 at the qualifiers from March 14-24.

Wales’s world champ Lauren Price has landed the top award for the second year running at GB Boxing’s Annual Awards. The 25-year-old Gwent fighter was named female Boxer of the Year after a stunning unbeaten run in 2019. Price struck gold at the 2019 European Games in June and followed it up by winning the World Championship […]
