Meet British boxing's 'once in a lifetime' power couple

After both medalling for Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics, British boxing's new power couple Lauren Price and Karriss Artingstall are setting their sights on conquering the professional game together.

Price, who won middleweight gold in Japan last summer, will make her professional debut live on Sky Sports on June 11 at Wembley Arena. Featherweight bronze medallist Artingstall, who has also signed a long-term promotion deal with BOXXER, will no doubt be in the vicinity as she awaits confirmation of a date for her first professional outing.

The pair, both 27, publicly confirmed their relationship after the Olympics as they revealed they had recently bought a house together, and have now explained how training and competing alongside each other has helped propel them to this point.

"It's just like having a home comfort everywhere you go," Artingstall told Sky Sports News. "If we're ever having to travel away to a different country for a training camp or anywhere, she's always by my side and I'm always by hers. So it's always having that home comfort with you.

"I say you never feel out of your comfort zone, you do because the sessions are hard, but it's always that little bit easier having her beside me pushing me on."

Following confirmation of their long-term deals with BOXXER, it has been announced that Price and Artingstall will become the first professional boxers to sign training and management contracts with GB Boxing.

Under the terms of the deal, the duo, who were keen to remain under the guidance of performance director Rob McCracken and the GB Boxing coaches, will continue to train in Sheffield, alongside the next generation of Olympic aspirants.
