World champion Lauren Price will defend her unified welterweight titles against Michaela Kotaskova in Cardiff on November 20, in a fight to be shown live on the BBC.
Price's promoter Ben Shalom said there is something special about seeing her fight at home in Wales. He said she has already created incredible moments in Cardiff and that the BBC is bringing her back for another major world title night, live and free-to-air. He described Kotaskova as a good fighter who will provide a tough test, but said Price has huge ambitions and knows she must keep winning and producing big performances to secure her legacy.
Graham Davies, managing editor for Sport at BBC Cymru Wales, called Price one of the standout stars of British boxing. He said her journey from Olympic champion to unified world champion has been remarkable, and that this title defence promises to be another exciting chapter.
On the undercard, Welsh featherweight Rhys Edwards takes on Scotland's Lee Mc Gregor, a former British, Commonwealth and European champion, for the WBA continental title. Unbeaten middleweight Kyran Jones from Cardiff will look to extend his perfect record against Liverpool's Sean Arkwright. The fight will be broadcast live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
