Claressa Shields vs Lauren Price talks are 'ongoing' after American star reclaimed world middleweight titles in Atlanta

Negotiations for a Claressa Shields vs Lauren Price fight are ongoing after the American star reclaimed two world middleweight titles on Saturday.

Shields took back WBC and WBA belts with a ruthless sixth-round stoppage of Kaye Scott as the unbeaten Michigan fighter became a middleweight world champion for a third time.

Price, the unified welterweight champion, could be the next opponent for Shields and the American's promoter Dmitriy Salita is keen to finalise terms for a battle between two Olympic gold medallists.
