Joe Gallagher Criticizes Lauren Price for Missing Fight Face-Off

In the lead-up to their historic welterweight title unification fight at Royal Albert Hall, Natasha Jonas's trainer Joe Gallagher criticized Lauren Price for missing a scheduled face-off, labeling it 'disrespectful' and 'out of order.' Gallagher emphasized the importance of such promotional events in establishing the fight week atmosphere, suggesting that Price's absence could be related to struggles with making weight. While Price defended her absence, claiming miscommunication from organizers, Gallagher remained adamant about the need for professionalism in high-profile matches. As the two prepare to battle for the WBC, IBF, and WBA championships, Gallagher questioned why Price is viewed as the favorite, challenging the narrative surrounding her abilities. The fight is set to be a significant moment in women's boxing, marking the first time a women's bout headlines at the iconic venue.
