She now faces WBA mandatory challenger Pineiro, the undefeated Puerto Rican southpaw with a perfect 10-fight pro record who has been the WBA’s interim champion since stopping Marie Pier Houle last year and then defeating Anahi Ester Sanchez.
Price is confident of continuing that winning streak and retaining her titles on home soil as she looks to secure a blockbuster showdown at middleweight with American superstar Claressa Shields, having grown tired of chasing an undisputed fight with WBO welterweight champion Mikaela Mayer.

Price vs Pineiro prediction
Price is a big favourite here for a reason. She has hardly skipped a beat in her impressive pro career so far and was far too good for the legendary Jonas last summer.
It’s important that she doesn’t overlook a tough opponent in Pineiro, but we see this as another straightforward stepping stone en route to the very biggest fights for Price – including that enormous clash with undisputed heavyweight champion Shields.
Price to win, by unanimous decision.
