'This matches my Olympic gold' - Price becomes Wales' first female world champion

Lauren Price has recorded a stoppage victory over Jessica McCaskill to become the WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine welterweight champion.

Despite competing in just her seventh professional fight, Price was fancied to dethrone the experienced title holder in Cardiff.

That is how it proved, the 29-year-old winning every round on the judges' scorecards before McCaskill's heavily-swollen eye forced the fight to be stopped at the end of the eighth round.

In overcoming the American, Price becomes Wales' first-ever women's world champion and Wales' 14th in total, setting up the prospect of some monster fights in the division.
