Lauren Price enhanced her glistening and ever-unfolding legacy once more as she defeated Jessica McCaskill to become Wales' first female boxing world champion in Cardiff on Saturday night.
With a long-awaited Welsh homecoming came another commanding display from the one-time taxi driver who would go on to become Olympic champion and, now, unified IBO, WBA and Ring Magazine welterweight world champion.
The contest was brought to a halt at the start of the ninth round due to a nasty swollen eye that McCaskill had seemingly sustained during an earlier clash of heads, with the judges ruling the fight 90-82, 90-82, 90-82 in favour of Price.
Throughout Price's career her grandma Linda has recorded her fights before watching them back the following day. On Sunday, she will watch as the young girl she raised in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly dominate a former undisputed champion to continue her march towards the pinnacle of the sport.
"I'm speechless. Coming out here tonight, the atmosphere has got to be up there with winning Olympic gold," Price told Sky Sports after the fight.
"I can't thank everybody enough, it means the world. Credit to my opponent, I respect her, she's a credit to women's boxing and boxing in general.
"I want to build a legacy and create greatness. This is just the start. You see what Katie Taylor did for Ireland, I want to do the same for Wales.
"I'd love to sell out the Principality Stadium, that's the dream."
