Lauren Price, the Welsh boxer, will defend her unified welterweight world titles against Puerto Rican challenger Stephanie Pineiro Aquino on April 4 in Cardiff. The fight, which promises to be an exciting bout, will take place at the Utilita Arena and will be broadcast live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
Price, 31, has not fought since adding the WBC and IBF belts to her WBA crown with a dominant points win over Natasha Jonas in London last March. This upcoming bout is crucial for Price as she aims to solidify her position as one of the top boxers in the welterweight division.
Aquino, 35, is an undefeated boxer who has never competed outside Puerto Rico. Despite being the underdog, Aquino is confident that she will be able to dethrone Price and bring the titles back to Puerto Rico.
The fight holds significant importance for both boxers, as it promises to showcase their skills and determination in the ring. With a win, Price can further cement her status as one of the top boxers in the world, while Aquino is looking to make history by becoming the first boxer from Puerto Rico to dethrone a world champion.
Price will face her first fight in over a year on April 4, and she has expressed her excitement about defending her titles at home in Wales. "Defending my world titles at home in Wales means everything to me," Price said. "I want to repay the support everyone has shown me with another great performance."
Aquino is also determined to win, saying "Lauren may have the home fans on her side, but I have a country behind me too." The fight promises to be an exciting and closely contested bout that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
A victory for Price could set her up for a push towards becoming the undisputed champion, while a win for Aquino would make history for Puerto Rico.

I'm so stoked about this upcoming fight! It's gonna be epic 
. Lauren Price is a beast in the ring and she needs to defend her titles against someone who can give her a run for her money. Stephanie Aquino might not have the home crowd behind her, but she's got the skills and determination to take down Price. The fact that this fight has historical significance for both boxers is what makes it even more exciting 
. It's not just about winning or losing, it's about making history and inspiring a nation. Bring on April 4th! 
I'm low-key worried about Lauren Price 
... not that she's gonna lose or anything 
but Stephanie Pineiro is on fire 
and has been training hard 
! It'll be a tough fight, but I love the underdog vibe Aquino's got going on. If Aquino can get past Price's jab, which btw is like 99% accurate 
, she might just have a shot at dethroning her. And honestly, it'd be amazing to see Puerto Rico win a world title for the first time in ages 
! The live broadcast on BBC Two and iPlayer is gonna be lit 
lauren price is gonna crush it like she always does! 
!
and we gotta respect her determination 
or she'll be left in the dust.
. It's gonna be an epic battle & I'm low-key rooting 4 Aquino 
just cuz it's time 2 see some new blood in the boxing scene 
. And let's be real, both of these boxers are already pretty established in their careers, so it's not like they're exactly risking everything here 
. But let's not forget, Price has been on a tear lately and has some serious skill under her belt 
lauren defendin her world titles in cardiff will b so much fun to watch, hope it's live on bbc iplayer 
. But Stephanie Pineiro Aquino is no joke, her undefeated record is insane! 
. I'm rooting for Aquino tho, gotta love an underdog story 
gotta say, i'm hyped about this fight!!! 
but stephania aquino's determination's got me feelin some type of way 
her underdog story's got potential for an epic win and makin history for puerto rico 
Or maybe it'll be a close call and Price will just edge it out by a hair? 
Hmm, I'm torn already 
the stakes are high, but Lauren is ready 
price is like a legend already tho, she's only 31 and she's been holding those belts since march last year... it's crazy how fast she rose to the top
