#1. WBC, IBF and WBA welterweight title: Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren Price
Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren Price is a unification bout, with three world titles on the line. Jonas defends her WBC and IBF women's welterweight belts, while Price defends her WBA women's welterweight strap. Heading into the fight, Jonas boasts a 16-2-1 record, with 9 stoppages to her name.
Meanwhile, Price is unbeaten at 8-0, with just two stoppages. Despite being less experienced at the professional level, Price is an Olympic gold medalist with ample amateur boxing experience. She has youth on her side, being 30 years old, which is 10 years younger than the 40-year-old Jonas.
Moreover, she will have a noticeable speed advantage in the ring. Price, by contrast, will be the far more powerful puncher and four inches taller. Unfortunately, her age may prove to be a bigger disadvantage than anticipated, while her experience may not be what it's expected to be.
Price's amateur run was something to behold, as she managed to score a middleweight win over the great Savannah Marshall, the latter of whom remains the only fighter to beat the GWOAT, Claressa Shields. It is likely she will send Jonas into retirement.
