Jessica has fought 16 boxing fights, recording 12 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw. Of 12 of her wins, 4 were knockouts, and 8 were decision wins. She made her first debut on August 22, 2015, winning against Tyrea Nichole Duncan through a technical knockout. She fought in the lightweight division twice in 2016 against Katonya Fisher and Alexandria Williams. She was down in Round 2 against the former, while she won against the latter by knockout. In 2017, she fought four times, winning against Carla Torres, Brenda Gonzalez, and Natalia, the first two through unanimous decisions. She recorded defeat in her 2017 last fight against Katie Taylor in the WBA lightweight division through a unanimous decision. She fought once in 2018 and won unanimously against Erica Anabella Farias in a lightweight division in Chicago. She fought against Erica Anabella Farias again on October 12, 2019, when she won again through a majority decision. She also fought and won a unanimous decision against Anahi Ester Sanchez in 2019. She consecutively fought against Cecilia Braekhus twice in 2020 and 2021, when she won the former through a majority decision and the latter through a unanimous decision. Her last fight in 2021 was in the welterweight division against Kandi Wyatt, where she won through a technical knockout. Out of her two fights in 2022, she won against Alma Ibarra in the welterweight division through a referee technical decision. Her last fight in 2022 was a defeat against Chantelle Cameron through a unanimous decision. Generally, her last professional fight was on September 23, 2023, where she drew a split decision against Sandy Ryan for the World Welterweight Title.

30 year old history maker Lauren Price, the first Welsh boxer to win Olympic gold, has the opportunity to write her name in the record books again by becoming Wales' first female world champion when she meets McCaskill in the Welterweight title bout right in her home country. Since the beginning of her career, Lauren Price has never lost a fight, both at the amateur and professional boxing levels. She fought four times in the 2020 Olympic middleweight tournament at the amateur level. She won Myagmarjargal Munkhbat and Atheyna Bylon through a unanimous decision. She won Nouchka Fontjin through a split decision, while she won the final fight against Qian Li by unanimous decision, making her win the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Women's Middleweight Gold Medal. She has played and won six fights at the professional level, with just one knockout. Her first professional fight was on June 11, 2022, where she beat Valgerdur Gudstensdottir by a points decision in the Welterweight division. Her second and last fight in 2022 was a knockout victory against Timea Belik. She fought four times in 2023 and won all through decisions. She faced Naomi Mannes, Kirstie Bavington, Lolita Muzeya, and Silva Bortot, her last win and victory.

Jessica McCaskill is ranked as the best female welterweight in the world by The Ring and BoxRec. McCaskill has fought 16 times in her career, with 12 victories, three defeats, and a draw in her last outing against Sandy Ryan in September 2023. 30-year-old Lauren Price, who won gold at the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021, has a 100% record after six professional fights. This one could be an absolute thriller in Cardiff, as Jessica McCaskill looks to continue her stellar career. Also, the fact that Lauren Price is 30 and Jessica is 39 shows her youthful energy and that she is over the line against McCaskill. I see this game as a decision game, with Price winning the bout to continue her unbeaten streak and make history.
