Jessica McCaskill explains how she believes she can beat Lauren Price

Jessica McCaskill believes she has the power to defeat Lauren Price when the two meet.

McCaskill and Price fight on May 11 to contest the WBA welterweight championship ( live on Peacock in the US ).

The two Britons fancy their chances but the incumbent believes the threat she offers is underrated.

She told Sky Sports: "I don't think there's an appreciation for the boxing that I do or the more thought out things that we do in the ring. I think they're overlooked because people are looking for those big right hands or things like that.

"I do feel like I get put into this bracket of brawling, which I love. I hate boxing, I love brawling. It's just what I've done for so long.

"Every fighter has the opportunity to make that happen and I feel like I'm going to look for those opportunities.

"It's up to the judges to be fair, it's up to the referee to be fair, it's not fair when you go into the locker room and say 'I expect this' but when you get into the fight the opposite fighter is doing those exact things, so you expect everyone to play their role and not get caught up."
