Price had said in the aftermath of her victory against Jonas that she expected to become an undisputed champion by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

She was in attendance in Las Vegas as Mikaela Mayer outpointed Briton Sandy Ryan<\/a> for the second time to defend the American’s WBO welterweight title.<\/p>\n

However, despite hopes that the Boxxer-promoted fighter would be back in the ring by August it now appears she will face a gap of 13 months between fights.<\/p>\n

“I am back sparring and have had a great week of training. I am ready to crack on and put on a good show for my fans,” said Price, who is unbeaten in nine fights since turning professional.<\/p>\n

“It’s all been signed off and I can finally move on with concentrating on training, leaving no stone unturned so that I am ready for 4 April.”<\/p>\n

There has been no official announcement for a show at the 7,500-capacity Utilita Arena, but the British Boxing Board of Control have posted notice of a bout between Welshman Rhys Edwards and Birmingham’s Gulraj Powar for their vacant featherweight title in Cardiff on Saturday, 4 April.<\/p>\n

The fight will be promoted by Ben Shalom, the founder and CEO of Boxxer.<\/p>\n

Price, who also won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and played international football for Wales, has always said being Welsh is a key part of her success. <\/p>\n

“I want the big fights, I want momentum and I love fighting in Wales,” she added. <\/p>\n

“In talks I got offered Albert Hall again, it’s a fantastic venue, but I want to fight in Wales with Welsh up and coming talent on the card.<\/p>\n

“The dream is to sell out stadiums and follow the likes of Joe Calzaghe, and that starts by boxing at home.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
