Team GB boxers – how have the Tokyo 2020 graduates performed since the Games?

Two medals of each colour left the Great Britain boxing team second only to Cuba on the Tokyo 2020 medal table. In fact, their final total of six was one more than the Cuban team, who ended the Olympics on top by virtue of the four golds they secured.

With the exception of Karriss Artingstall who has continued in the amateur ranks, every one of the Tokyo 2020 medallists has now turned pro. And not one of the five has suffered a loss since as they take to their new surroundings like veterans of the game.

Find out how the medal-winning boxers has performed since their glorious outings in Japan.

Lauren Price, middleweight, gold

The sensational Lauren Price was a sporting prodigy growing up, becoming a four-time junior world kickboxing champion and representing both Cardiff and Wales as a footballer. Since showcasing her fast hands and body movement during the Tokyo Games, the Olympic middleweight champion stepped down to welterweight for her first pro fight, dominating every one of the six two-minute rounds against Valgerdur Gudstensdottir in June to take a unanimous 60-54 victory.

His pro debut saw him win the vacant WBC International Flyweight belt, as he secured a fifth-round TKO in a fight against Mexico’s Carlos Bautista. He followed it up with an impressive second-round stoppage of American Miguel Cartagena in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

“I have waited so long to make my pro debut and it was everything I hoped and dreamed of,” Yafai said after his debut.
