NATASHA JONAS’S coach Joe Gallagher felt Lauren Price was “bang out of order” for failing to attend a media obligation ahead of tomorrow’s unified welterweight clash at the Royal Albert Hall.

Wales’ Price cited a miscommunication with broadcaster Sky as the reason behind her missing Tuesday’s face-off.

Gallagher’s comments, made in today’s press conference, were the first signs of tension between the two camps in what has been a respectful build-up since the bout’s announcement in January.
