Jessica McCaskill looks to take away Lauren Price s hometown moment

Which two Indian players got into an on-field argument during a Test

When Jessica McCaskill steps into the ring Saturday night in Cardiff, Wales, she'll be chasing one of the few goals that has proved elusive in her  phenomenal career: a win on foreign soil.

The WBA welterweight champion has three defeats on her record, two of which came against Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron in London and Abu Dhabi, respectively.

While nobody can doubt her stature in the sport, a win against Lauren Price in Wales, amid what will be a heavily one-sided and likely boisterous crowd would be an important box ticked for McCaskill (12-3 5KOs).

"As far as the electric crowd I am here for it. I'm going to use that energy. I'm very excited," McCaskill told ESPN. "I don't mind being away from home. I think traveling is something that I'm used to. ... But [traveling] to another country there's a big difference. Mentally it's not something that bothers me but there are things that you have to accommodate for. The timings and things like that. I'm looking forward to this being the big 'W' that I bring home from another country."

A nearly 4,000-mile trip from Chicago to Cardiff awaits McCaskill, and her team will leave nothing to chance in order to execute the best preparation possible. They've already had a taste of what's in store.

"We're coming over fight week, so we'll be there early. We were there for the press conferences not that long ago, so we kind of got a run through of how everything is going to work. We know just what to expect for those things which is good."

Team McCaskill will also be particularly emphatic when it comes to the prefight meeting with the referee.

"As far as coming over for fights and fighting in another place, the team is really observant of the referees and the judges and the rules and making sure the rules apply for both sides," McCaskill said. "A lot of times I'll be in these fights and you get a big speech before in the locker room [saying] no holding, no pushing things like that and I get in the fight and I'm getting held and I'm getting pushed, and I'm looking at the referee like 'are we going to do anything about this.'"

The fight against Price (6-0 1 KO) presents a good opportunity for McCaskill to get back to winning ways. A split draw with Sandy Ryan in September and the defeat to Cameron in November 2022 mean it will be almost two years since she last earned a victory by the time she fights. Despite her relative professional inexperience, Price -- an Olympic gold medalist -- has plenty of expectation on her shoulders.

McCaskill, though, is confident of scoring a victory that will propel her to bigger fights, with plenty of options and high-profile bouts to be made.

"I'm definitely looking to [IBF welterweight champion] Natasha Jonas because I know she's almost done with her career and I don't want to miss that opportunity," McCaskill said. "She helped a lot with making this fight happen so out of respect, I want to make sure that if that's something she wants to do we make sure we have that conversation."

Jonas beat Mikaela Mayer in January and was open about the fact she only has a handful of fights before hanging up the gloves. A rematch with Ryan after their controversial draw is also an enticing prospect for McCaskill. Either way, the former undisputed champion at 147 pounds, who also held straps at 140, wants the biggest fights possible to further her legacy.

"I think, we've had all the belts so it's more so about the fighters," McCaskill said. "There's a lot of new fighters coming up. There's only so many belts so there's only a couple of people who are going to have them. You're looking to either defend against someone who's a worthy opponent like Lauren Price, or you're looking to try and take another belt somewhere.

"If there's belts somewhere to take, yes, I'm looking to that before my career is over. And then [there are] those legacy fights of great fighters like Natasha Jonas that you want to make sure that you have in your history books before you're done."
