The world of women's boxing is on the brink of a showdown that could redefine the sport, but there's a catch: will Lauren Price step into the ring with Mikaela Mayer for the undisputed welterweight championship? This highly anticipated matchup isn't just about titles—it's about legacy, rivalry, and the future of women's boxing. But here's where it gets controversial: while Mayer is ready to dive in headfirst, Price seems to be playing the waiting game, and this is the part most people miss—timing could make or break this fight.
Mikaela Mayer, the WBO welterweight world champion, has openly challenged Lauren Price, the unified WBC, WBA, and IBF 147lb titleholder, to a fight that fans are calling the biggest in women's boxing today. Mayer recently made waves by moving up to super-welter (154lb) and claiming the WBC, WBA, and WBO titles in that division with a victory over Mary Spencer. Now, she’s eager to return to welterweight to settle the score with Price. “I definitely want to finish what I started at welterweight,” Mayer told Sky Sports. “That Lauren Price fight is obviously huge. Everyone wants to see it, and it’s got to happen.”
Mayer’s confidence is palpable. She insists she doesn’t need a warm-up fight or extended rest, declaring, “I’ll be ready to go.” But Price, who hasn’t fought since unifying her titles against Natasha Jones in March, is reportedly eyeing a comeback bout before facing Mayer. This hesitation has sparked debate: **Is Price stalling, or is she strategically preparing for the biggest fight```json
