Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan share an icy face-off in front of their WBO Welterweight Title Rematch Live on Sky Sports
The American would not hesitate to fight price. “No, absolutely not, and I have said that very openly. I get through Sandy one more time and I would like to end my goal of becoming undisputed,” Mayer told Sky Sports.
“That dream is still alive and I am back in position now and have that opportunity. I would not run from a price match at all. Will I do it in Wales? No.”
But she added, “We can negotiate.”
Mayer was not surpassed by Price’s view against Jonas.
“It’s a difficult style to beat, but I think Jonas just didn’t have the right gameplan. I don’t know if it’s because she’s on her way out and she just doesn’t have that match in her anymore or if she just didn’t have a proper gameplan. Because she was standing on the outside too long, just waited too long. You have to push,” the American said.

Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan Exchange Words prior to their re -match
“I would definitely have had another gameplan. I don’t think Jonas had the right one. In the end if you know your gameplan is not working, you step on gas. Plan C is that you are fighting and we’ve never seen it from her.
“We are ready for it. Right now we have a completely different style to meet.”
Ryan knows the price well. They were teammates on the GB amateur team and have boxed each other as well as sparring together at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.
“We fought against each other in a tournament in Bulgaria. We’ve had some good memories good sparring, it’ll be a really good match. Both boxed for Britain. There’s also a lot in that match,” Ryan told Sky Sports.
“I thought Lauren would win [against Jonas] And it is a great potential fight there for me in the future. I look forward to the future. I just need to get the belt back and be a world champion again, and then the big matches are there. “

“I expect her to make the adjustments she needs,” Mayer said. “She lost the first half of this match pretty clearly, so I expect her to make the adjustments and get harder.
“But at the end of the day is Sandy’s style Sandy’s style. I can’t see her change too much, I just see her stepping on the gas a little faster.
“I thought I obviously won,” Mayer continued. “I felt I won the first half of the match. There were some middle rounds where I was caught, but then towards the end caught her in capital letters and the big shots, I thought I solidified the victory and my team did too.”
She added: “I don’t want it to work close this time. But I assume I plan to surprise her with the strength and the way I have grown in this welterweight body 1743232969. You don’t just skip three weight classes overnight. I did it kind and I feel like a solid welter weight now. “
