Price calls for Shields fight after beating Pineiro

Lauren Price rallied from a severe head clash to defeat Stephanie Pineiro on points and retain her welterweight titles in Cardiff.

After the victory, Price called for a showdown with Claressa Shields, proposing a two-leg series where she would travel to America and Shields would visit Wales.

Shields accepted the challenge, hinting at a middleweight bout at the end of 2026. Price has expressed a desire to stage the fight in Wales at the Principality Stadium, citing the caliber of opponent Shields represents.
