Lauren Price is set to defend her World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight championship on December 14 against Bexcy Mateus at the Exhibition Centre in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
The official announcement for this exciting fight was made on Wednesday by the promoter, promising an evening of important fights and featuring several notable figures in the ring.
This will be Price’s first defense of her title, which she won on May 11 by defeating Jessica McCaskill in Cardiff with a technical decision in the ninth round after the fight was stopped due to a cut from an accidental headbutt.
Mateus, a 29-year-old Colombian fighter, is undefeated and sees this fight as a significant opportunity for her career. It will be her first time competing outside of her home country, presenting a major challenge that she plans to overcome with her punching power and aggressive style.
Price enters the ring with a record of 7 wins, no losses, and 1 knockout, while Mateus boasts a record of 7 wins, no losses, and 6 knockouts.
