Mikaela Mayer is ready for Lauren Price and an undisputed championship fight

After her unanimous decision win over Sandy Ryan on October 30 in Montreal, Canada, 35-year-old American Mikaela Mayer stated that she is ready to fight for undisputed status. To do that, she would need to face 31-year-old Briton Lauren Price.

“They can give me the opportunity to step in and fight Lauren Price for the undisputed title, and then I can come back and defend one of the three belts.

We had already planned this fight. It was supposed to happen in July in Vegas, and as I understand it, BOXXER made a deal for Lauren Price without her involvement. And when she was informed about the terms — which we had already fully agreed upon: the money, everything — she said: ‘No, I’m not doing that.’ I think that’s her right.

That was the last date available for us to stage the fight between the two networks, so there simply wasn’t a budget. There wasn’t enough money to pay us what we deserved, and we had to put the deal on hold. I hope they’ve now sorted out their situation with their broadcast network. We hope Top Rank will soon finalize theirs, and we can secure a budget and get what we deserve for this fight,” Mayer said.

Mikaela Mayer (22-2, 5 KO) currently holds the WBC, WBO and WBA titles at super welterweight. Her last defeat came three fights ago – against Natasha Jonas.

Lauren Price (9-0, 2 KO) won her previous bout by unanimous decision, also against Natasha Jonas.
