Lauren Price is confident that if she secures a future super-fight with Claressa Shields, she would outbox the two-time Olympic gold-medallist, declaring: "I'm just too quick."

Price (9-0, 2 KOs), who won gold herself at the Tokyo Games in 2021, is now The Ring, WBC, WBA and IBF welterweight champion after just nine fights as a professional, beating Natasha Jonas by unanimous decision in her last outing.

The Welshwoman is set to fight Mikaela Mayer (21-2, 5 KOs), the WBO 147-pound champion, later this year to unify all of the titles.

After that, however, she's all in on a fight with Shields (16-0, 3 KOs), who has already told the Brit to 'eat a hamburger' to get up to middleweight, two weight classes above welter, to fight her.

Shields has also suggested that the pair could meet at junior-middleweight, where the American previously reigned as undisputed champion.

Flint's Shields also held all the belts at 160 pounds and is the current undisputed heavyweight champion after beating Danielle Perkins in February. But Price is still confident she'd emerge victorious in a potential fight.

Price told the Toe2Toe Podcast On Sky: "The way I look at it, she's always been in the back of my mind that I'll box her one day.

"She's a great fighter. I think it's the best fight out there. It'll be a tough fight but it's a fight I believe I can win as well.

"I think I outbox her with my speed, if I'm honest. I'm just too quick. She's fast. She has got very fast hands, but I'm quicker.

"Before she said she would do me and [Natasha] Jonas on the same night. Then I boxed Jonas and she said she was impressed, this, that and the other. And now she wants the fight. I must have done something right!"

Price reiterated, though, a fight with Mayer is what her focus remains on.

Mayer beat Sandy Ryan at the end of March by unanimous decision to retain her WBO strap, after winning it from the Brit last September.

Price added: "[Shields] is a double Olympic gold medallist. I'm an Olympic gold medallist. Both at middleweight as well. With her accolades, my accolades, I think it's the biggest fight."

"I'd love that fight. I want to become undisputed first and then obviously think about that.

"I've always thought I'll be a multi-weight world champion. Obviously there's talks to happen in regard to weight and what I go up to."
