Follow live text commentary and radio from 22:00 BST on 11 May, and watch the fight live on BBC WalesWales' Lauren Price aims to win her first world title on Saturday in her backyard when she takes on Jessica McCaskill.
She was a very serious person. Driven, focused and quietly confident, that’s how I would describe her then. To then go on and win a world title? Achieving both cements your ability and cements you on the path to being one of the greats, and to represent Wales doing that will mean a lot to her.She’s a little bit more forthcoming and chatty these days.When you’re doing the weight cut and hard sessions, having a partner who is going through the same thing must be invaluable.
Lauren can adapt very quickly. She might fight one style in one round and come out and fight another style in the next.I think Price has the skillset and mindset to follow the likes of Claressa.There are so many more eyes on her in this fight. She is the main event. It’s all down to Lauren keeping a cool head in Cardiff. Even the Olympic stage can’t compare to fighting for a world title at home. This is where her coach Rob McCracken comes in - he will help her to stay calm.
