A boxer received recognition in the Senedd for her recent victory.

Ystrad Mynach's Lauren Price earned a win at the Royal Albert Hall last weekend.

South Wales East MS, Delyth Jewell, praised the athlete's impressive feat.

She highlighted her gold medal victory at the 2020 Olympics, and her earlier success in the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Before her boxing career, Ms Price represented Wales in football.

Ms Jewell celebrated her recent success, stating that it has "catapulted her to even greater heights."

She said: "‘Unstoppable’ truly seems a fitting title for this young woman from Ystrad Mynach.

"And what a joy it was to see her enter the ring as Dafydd Iwan’s ‘Yma o Hyd’ was playing, the red dragon resplendent behind her."

Ms Jewell lauded her 'resilience' and 'determination,' acknowledging the support from her grandparents and friends.

The Llywydd, Ceredigion MS, Elin Jones, expressed her support, saying: "I witnessed her victory.

"Da iawn, bawb."
