Lauren Price is guaranteed to add another medal to her growing collection after another stunning display at the World Boxing Championships in India. The Newport fighter beat Poland’s Elzbieta Wojcki on a split decision in her 75kg quarter-final at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in New Delhi.

Lauren Price booked her ticket to the quarter-finals of the World Championships in India as she outboxed Ireland’s Aiofe O’Rourke in her preliminary round contest. Newport’s Commonwealth Games champ beat the Roscommon fighter by a unanimous decision in New Delhi in the 75Kg category.

Welsh duo Lauren Price and Rosie Eccles have been named in GB Boxing’s squad for the AIBA Women’s World Championships in India. Newport middleweight Price will be looking to add to her Commonwealth Games gold and European Championships bronze in New Delhi from November 15-28.

Lauren Price missed out on a shot at another gold medal when she was beaten on a controversial split decision at the EUBC European Women’s Boxing Championships in Sofia. The Commonwealth champion from the Gold Coast at 75kg, Price had high hopes of improving on the bronze medal she won two years ago at the European championships, but lost out in a tight contest against Ukrainian fighter Mariya Borutsa. As well as losing out on an attempt at gold against Netherlands star Nouchka Mireille Fontijn, the Pontypool ABC golden girl ended up in a Bulgarian hospital needing stitches in a badly cut lip.  She won her opening bout against Romania’s Ionela Nane 5-0.

Lauren Price will be chasing more medal glory at the European Women’s Boxing Championships in Sofia. The Bargoed fighter struck an historic gold at the Commonwealth Games in Australia in April.

By her own admission Helen Phillips, the highly successful chair of the Commonwealth Games Federation of Wales, has two huge problems ahead of the 2022 Games in Birmingham. Building on the back of the most successful overseas Games at the Gold Coast will be a challenge, but the difficulties facing Phillips and her back room staff in four years time aren’t centred around medals.

For the third Commonwealth Games in a row the Welsh women outperformed the men on the medal front, accounting for 54% of the record equalling 36 medals at Gold Coast. In another example of the huge advances being made at the highest levels by Wales’ elite sportswomen, they matched the men on the gold medal front in Australia.

Lauren Price and Sammy Lee both struck gold on the greatest day in Welsh boxing history at the Commonwealth Games to give Team Wales another golden glow. Price upgraded her bronze medal in Glasgow four years ago to gold at the Gold Coast as she won a split decision against home favourite Caitlin Parker to take the 75kg title. Then, teenage sensation Lee lit up the Oxenford Studios with a magnificent display in the 81kg class.

Lauren Price has made history becoming the first Welsh women’s boxer to win Commonwealth Games gold. The Bargoed fighter beat Australia’s Caitlin Parker in a split decision at the Oxenford Studios.

Lauren Price hammered out a 5-0 warning to her rivals in the 75kg women’s boxing class that she is only at the Gold Coast to win one colour medal this time out – the gold. The first Welsh female boxer to win a Commonwealth Games medal in Glasgow four years ago, when she won bronze, she completely outclassed Rady Gramane of Mozambique in their quarter-final clash. That win – she only lost one of the three rounds on one of the five judges’ cards – has set-up a semi-final clash with Canada’s Tammara Thibeault on 13 April, who won a split decision against Cameroonian Clotilde Essiane.

Six months ago Sammy Lee won gold for Wales at the Commonwealth Games Youth Championships in the Bahamas. Now he is looking to step up into the senior ranks and to do the same thing after being selected as the youngest member of a seven-strong Team Wales boxing squad for the Gold Coast in April. The Swansea boxer first burst onto the scene in 2015 with a dazzling display at the Welsh Championships.

Lauren Price ensured she ended 2017 on a high as she won a split decision against English rival Stephanie Wroe to be crowned the British boxing champion at 69kg. The British Olympic Podium squad member is hoping to punch her way to a better medal than the bronze she won in Glasgow in 2014 when she goes to the Gold Coast for next year’s Commonwealth Games. “It was good to finish 2017 on a high by becoming GB Champion, even though it wasn’t my best performance. But I got the win in what has been a rollercoaster year – now I’m ready for a big 2018,” said Price.
