Olympic gold medal winner Lauren Price feels confident in her ability to dominate her upcoming opponent, the far more experienced Natasha Jonas.
The two are scheduled to collide in a welterweight unification clash at Royal Albert Hall on March 7, with the Ring, WBC, IBF and WBA world titles at stake.
Jonas, regarded as one of the best fighters in women's boxing, was a unified champion at the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds, before making the decision to drop down in weight to pursue gold at welterweight.
Despite the gap in pro experience, Price believes her skills will pay the bills.
"I believe it's my toughest test. It's just another stepping stone. I do believe that I am too good and I'm too quick," Price told Sky Sports.
Price has confidently stated that she expects to win every round of the fight - a claim that Jonas knocked down.
"It doesn't matter until we're in the ring," said Jonas to Sky Sports. "She keeps on saying these things. But you're putting pressure on yourself to back it up. You're not going to lose a round? Okay, well what happens when round one goes and you've lost it? What are you going to do then, because you said you weren't going to lose a round? What happens then in round two, three, four, five, six? I would expect you to win every round for the opposition that she's had.
"I think she has to tell herself that to make herself believe it. To be like: 'Right, I've got this. You're trying to convince yourself. I just think you're geeing yourself up. You're telling yourself: 'I can do it.' That's what I believe she's doing. I'm not buying it."
