Natasha Jonas is considering her retirement after Lauren Price defeat at Royal Albert Hall | Boxing news

Natasha Jonas will go away to decide whether it is time to retire from boxing after her defeat to Lauren Price at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday night.
Jonas was comfortably struck by Price in a unanimous loss of decision on the Olympic champion, who looked at every piece of boxing elites on the march to the undisputed situation.
The 40 -year -old was delivered by the IBF and WBC Welterweight zones, as the price was added to the WBA title to become a unified champion while focusing on a historic card.
She could signal the last time Jonas enters the ring to compete as she weighs her next step.
“Natasha must have time away with her family and daughter, go on vacation, and will make her decision when she returns,” trainer Joe Gallagher told Sky Sports.
“Whatever she chooses to do, I will support her, a year ago I asked her to retire after winning Mikaela Mayer, so everyone knows how I feel about it, it was a little too fast and very sharp at night.”
Jonas, who was not foreign to question marks for her future in the last year, hints that her retirement after the race.
“I think feelings are running high right now and Joe asked me to retire for a long time,” he said in an interview after the race.
“I really like to sit next to you Andy (Scott), Anna (Woolhouse) and Johnny (Nelson) and commenting so we may see it afterwards.
“But now I’m going to go home and spend time with my daughter.”
The price had repeatedly warned during the accumulation that it would prove to be very quickly, very small and very good for Jonas. It turned out so much in an emphatic style, setting fire to Jonas’s experience, durability, ability and intelligence with a perfect cocktail fast leg, lightning hands, smart disguise, smart variant and a relentless production from every corner of the ring.
In the end, it was less about what Jonas didn’t do and more about the level of talent looking at her.
“Lauren Price was fast from the blocks. I thought I had it 2-1 at one point. I thought Natasha was a pick-cheese very well with the backhand over the hand, but after that she found her groove and started pulling away and Tasha starts to take Lauren in situations where she was going to pull the laureate UPED PACE, but after this Gallagher and started pulling away and Tasha starts to take Lauren in situations where he is about to pull the trigger, Lauren could also see the Pace upd, but after this Gallagher.
“Someone told me” was like (Anthony) Crolla “, he was brilliant in the camp for his last race, and then when he entered him he was a split second with his schedule and that was for Natasha.
“But she takes nothing away from Lauren. It was her night, a fantastic show for her and she will return to Wales and we wish her good luck for the future in her career.
“I thought under the stretch. We managed to land some decent backhands over the top, but Tasha couldn’t get the second or third away, while Lauren shot.
Jonas has long been cementing her heritage as one of the leading pioneers of the women’s boxing, making the first British Boxer woman competing at the London Olympics in 2012 before proceeding to become a world champion in the third attempt at 20th.
Since then she has become the first woman to win the British Boxing Board of Control’s British Boxer of the Year in 2022, as well as become a two -weight world champion in the midst of a glamorous period in the last years of her career.
“What place, it made the story, I have to say a huge thank you to Tasha, the perfect dance partner,” Price said after the race.
“A complete honor to share the ring with her and respect it, not only for what she did for the boxing of women, but for boxing.
“It was a price that shared the ring. So thank you.”
Price does not shame on her eyes for the undeniable sovereignty in the near future, as she is now aiming for a fight against Mikaela Mayer’s winner and Sandy Ryan’s rematch, scheduled for March 29.
Mayer came the second best in a decision to separate Jonas in Liverpool in January 2024, but won the WBO Welterweight title when he defeated Ryan by the majority decision in New York last September.
“I’m not sure (if the price can be unquestionable),” Gallagher said. “I think Mikaela Mayer is a very good fighter. There is unfinished business, Sandy Ryan beat Lauren to the amateurs, so it would be up for it.
“Lauren accelerates tonight with a better face of the class and play as this will give her huge confidence again.
