Lauren Price Wins Historic First-Ever British Female Championship fight Over Kirstie Bavington
May 7, 2023
     
   
   


 
(MAY 7) Last night women’s boxing saw a historic landmark in the sport. Boxxer featured the first-ever British Female Championship Fight, at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham where Lauren Price faced Kirstie Bavington in a scheduled ten-round bout.

Lauren Price, 146, won the ten-round unanimous decision over Kirstie Bavington, 146 1/4, and became the history first of the  belt last night when she won by 100-90 on all judges score cards.  She improved her boxing record to 4-0-0 (1KO). Bavington's record is now 7-4-2 (2KO).

A tidbit of history on the belt: Introduced in 1909 and named in honor of Lord Lonsdale, the great patron of British boxing, the British championship belt was created as a prize to be awarded to the domestic champions across the various weight classes. When the British Board of Boxing Control was formed in 1929 it took over governance of the British championship and Lonsdale belt, which remained available only to male boxers – until now.

The bout was live and exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK & Republic of Ireland. The newest addition to the Lonsdale Belt will keep the same traditional format – including the iconic portrait of Lord Lonsdale – but will have a different ribbon color.
