Boxer squirts blood across ring after suffering gruesome eye injury forcing ref to step in on Smith vs Eubank undercard

LAUREN PRICE paid tribute to her brother with her sixth professional win that was sadly soured by a sickening cut to her opponent.

The 2020 Olympic golden girl lost her sibling Tony just two weeks ago but insisted on appearing on the Liam Smith vs Chris Eubank Jr rematch undercard.

It left her squirting blood across the ring

Lolita Muzeya was beaten 60-53 on points, after suffering a gruesome gash that led to a technical decision.

And that allows Price to take another leap towards a possible all-Team GB showdown with Liverpool world champ Natasha Jonas who was ringside.

The winner said: “It was good to be in there, I want to be busy and she had a good record.

“I respect Tasha Jonas 100 per cent but Tash has the belt and we are both British so it would be an honour to share the ring with her”.

Price, 29, started the welterweight bout with rasping southpaw jabs and did her best to bully her taller opponent.

Muzeya didn’t travel over to make up the numbers and landed a right hand in the second that kept Price on alert.

Then, just as the third ended, Muzeya landed a stiff jab well after the bell and took a final warning from referee Steve Gray who accepted her claim that she didn’t hear the alarm.

Price forced Muzeya onto the floor in the fourth but it was fairly called a slip and not counted.

The Welsh star did score a knockdown in the fifth but a gruesome clash of heads – just before a jab landed – left Mazeya with a horror cut around her left eye that squirted blood around the ring.

The referee waved off the contest because of the seriousness of the gaping wound and the scorecard handed Price the win.
