Natasha Jonas and Lauren Preko put their world titles on the line when in the box on Friday night in the Royal Albert Hall, live on Ski Sports. Here’s what fighters had to say …
Natasha Jonas
(United VBC and VBC and IBF World Champion, former United IBF, VBC and VBO Super-Velterveight World Champion, London 2012 Olympian)
They all say I can’t. And all I have to do is prove I’m right. Yes I can. I can reinforce when I have to. I can win when I have to. I’m not afraid of big fights and the big nights. Age is nothing. I prove it all myself.
I’m her big fight, so she chased me. I’m a good name for her. He finally thinks if he beats me to respect me. Because I respect me. I understand why he’s chasing me. But you’re not for me.
Lauren Price
(VBA Velterveight World Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist, World Cup Gold Medalists, European Games Gold Medalists, Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, MBE)
I wanted this fight for a long time. She didn’t want it. It was made to fight me. It continues on ‘I’ve never been on its radar’. But she must have known after I beat Jessica McCaskill, I’m here now to want to be involved in those great fight. It was just a matter of time where I came knocking on her door.
It’s not about Mikael Maier, Sandy Ryan. Yes, I would fight them, but I thought it was a simple struggle to do.

Joe Gallagher insisted that the Jonas V tag scales have too much light and challenge the calibration certificate when it was produced
Jonas:
I chased other fights. I believe Katie Taylor is a struggle or fight against Makeela was just a big fight, so it chased it. If you chase bigger fights, then you could fight sand.
She struggled with a very poor McCaskill that was not well boxed in about two years.
There was a gifted struggle McCaskill, because it was my struggle. Sandy was to take it and at the time you didn’t shout Sandy and went and fought and fought with the Bekci Mateus.
There are other people who could persecute and she appears with Mateus.
I think Lauren spent a lot of her professional career cozy and quarrel with me will not be comfortable.

Speaking in the field to the floor, Nikita Parris talks about his sister at Natasha Jonas upcoming in the fight against the title for the World Weltern weight
Price:
I believe it’s my most difficult test. It’s just another springstone. I believe I’m too good and I’m too fast.
She talks about old age, but I think we saw in her fights, boxes in bursts or when she passed through the gears, and she can’t get them back or returning to the ropes. And that’s not because she hurt anything, she rises.
I believe I play in that being I am, as per the time, as good as I am, as fast as I am. I’ll be a nightmare.
Jonas:
It’s just laughing at me. It is very prepared. I believe she talks about himself to prepare. All that, you’re old, you’re this, you’re the one who speaks: ‘It’s too old, you’re better.’
I think he must say that he is not believed in that.
You’re trying to make sure.
I just think you’re bragging. You say yourself, “you have this, I can do it.” That’s what I believe he works. I’m not buying it. Was not sold.

Jonas and price engaged in an intense face at the end of the final press conference
Price:
I think this fight with a tache, it puts me on Toplatyl and make me bigger. But I like a person and my team behind me we already know how good I am. Without the sound of a big head, I know and I believe I’m the best in 147Klbs.
I think I’m avoided from my debuting if I’m honest. It was hard to measure me.
No one wants to fight. Ivana Habazin didn’t want to fight me, Jonas didn’t want to fight me. I put it there. I said someone in the 147KBS box will, and that’s what I’m holding on it.
Jonas:
She didn’t suffer enough, I don’t believe, like a professional to tell those things. What happens when you lose the circle, what happens when you crash, what happens when you decrease? None of these things she has experienced and you’ll never know how you will react until you are in them.
I have a box of IC that does not only apply to how I apply, but also what happens when things go wrong.
One of the things I’ve always had is good time and accuracy. And I think the whole day knocks speed.

Despite the fact that Underdog, Jonas is convinced that he can upset the chance when he sees the price in their three-prescribed conflict for the title of Welter
Price:
The power comes with the power.
If she is in the McCaskill box, she would probably fight her. They would stand there to the toe, would give a hard work work. While you look against her, I enjoyed yourself inside. I started fast, but I’m getting better as I go on.
There’s something I want. It’s a big fight, a big British fight.
Jonas:
I’m in it anyway I fight in the best. But someone comes to the straps and I don’t want to give them because I believe there are other bigger things on the horizon. We won the Lauren and the door was still open for whatever you want to go. Whether it’s chasing Katie Taylor Rewantch, it’s an indisputable fight, whether Chase Mikaela Maier, it’s an indisputable struggle. Or thus that is an indisputable struggle.

The price is in a lush mood in front of her unique name for Welter in combat with Jonas on Friday
Price:
I respect it, but it’s a struggle to believe I’m going to the top and that’s it. It doesn’t matter how to win, do I stop or win the points, LP gets victory.
I’m excited for the future and I’m really excited about this fight.
Jonas:
Be careful what you want. It’s here and you can’t get out of it.
