Unified world champion Jessica McCaskill will take on Welsh star Lauren Price in her next fight.
Promoter Boxxer have yet to announce the venue and date, but said McCaskill – who holds WBA and IBO straps – steps into the “dragon’s den” and the American fighter is in the UK to announce the contest and the finer details at a press conference in Cardiff, Wales, tomorrow.
Chicago’s McCaskill, 39, is The Ring magazine’s welterweight champion, and is 12-3-1 (5 KOs) as a pro. In her last two fights, she lost to Chantelle Cameron in Dubai in late 2022 and was awarded a draw against Sandy Ryan in Florida last September.
Twenty-nine-year-old southpaw Price, 6-0 (1 KO), turned pro after winning gold at the 2020 Olympics, in the same year that McCaskill dethroned long-reigning champion Cecilia Braekhaus.
