In the Lauren Oslar FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID interview, the boxer explained why she joined the Fight Back promotion show, how coach Camille has changed her style and why quality boxing matters more to her than the result of her next fight. She also discussed the show’s support for women who have experienced abuse and promised a surprise after her bout.

Why did Lauren Oslar join the Fight Back promotion show?

Lauren Oslar joined the Fight Back promotion show because part of its profits will support women who have experienced abuse. She called it a fantastic cause and said the promotion’s emphasis on skilled boxing also suits what she wants to show in the ring.

The cause was the first reason Oslar gave for choosing the show. She described it as being for women who have been abused and are coming out of that experience, with some of the proceeds going toward their support. She also described the event’s idea as women empowering women.

Its approach to the bouts matters to her as a boxer. Oslar expects to see talent and technique on the card, rather than fighters relying only on aggression. She believes a show built around what she calls proper boxing will give her a place to demonstrate the changes she has made in training.

Oslar was enthusiastic about a card focused on women, but presented her view of its distinctiveness as an opinion, not a confirmed claim about boxing history. What she wanted fans to notice was the combination of the cause, the fighters and the boxing they produce.

How did coach Camille change Lauren Oslar’s boxing style?

Camille has been teaching Lauren Oslar to use her feet, move out of the way and think through exchanges instead of standing in front of an opponent and throwing hard shots. Oslar said the change feels like starting again, but she wants her next performance to look more skilled than her earlier wins.

From standing still to using footwork

The Poland-born coach draws on Eastern European techniques, Oslar said, with particular attention to moving sideways and backward. She contrasted that work with her previous approach: she would stay in place and throw punches. She had won fights that way, but was dissatisfied with how she looked while doing it.

When she began boxing, Oslar thought of a bout as a test of survival. Her coach at the time was content with her approach because she was winning. Camille challenged that view, telling her that boxing involves thinking and observing, not simply trying to overpower the person across from her.

Learning to observe before acting

After a few months with Camille, Oslar said the sport had become more interesting to her. The footwork is not merely a way to make a performance look better: it gives her more decisions to make as a fight develops. She wants the next bout to show that work, rather than resemble the brawling style she used before.

What did Lauren Oslar say about women’s boxing?

Lauren Oslar said women bring wholehearted effort to their fights while still showing respect to each other afterward. She finds that combination exciting and believes women’s boxing deserves attention for the action and skill inside the ropes, including on the Fight Back promotion card.

Asked about the appeal of women’s bouts, Oslar contrasted them with some men’s fights that she personally finds less engaging. Her point was about what she enjoys watching, not a claim that every fight follows the same pattern. She said women commit fully once they are in the ring.

That intensity does not, in her view, rule out respect. Oslar made a distinction between going all out during a bout and how the fighters treat one another when it ends. She wants viewers of the upcoming show to see both that commitment and the technique she expects from its boxers.

For her own appearance, those ideas come together. She wants to compete wholeheartedly, but she does not want effort alone to define the performance. Her work with Camille has made her more interested in showing what a boxer can do by moving, observing and choosing when to act.

What does Lauren Oslar want from her next fight?

Lauren Oslar wants to show the techniques she has practiced with Camille and leave the ring knowing she produced quality boxing. She wants to win, but said the result is less important to her than whether she has boxed well and given her best.

She knows the feeling of having a hand raised is rewarding. Earlier wins, however, did not leave her satisfied with her performances. That experience shapes what she is looking for now: a bout in which her skills are visible, regardless of which fighter wins.

Oslar said she would feel better after a loss in which she had done her best than after a win in which she felt she had boxed poorly. The distinction is especially important while she is changing her style. She hopes the fight will let her show the footwork and composure she has been developing.

Oslar put her priority plainly:

It's giving the best quality boxing. That's that's what I want to do and that's what I will do.

How can fans follow Lauren Oslar’s fight and support her?

Lauren Oslar said she would share fight links on her Instagram, while Fight Back promotion had a ticket link on its Instagram. She expected support from people in France and from Camille’s Pure Dream community, and she wants her appearance to encourage women her age who face obstacles of their own.

Ticket links and support from France and Pure Dream

Oslar directed fans looking for tickets to Fight Back promotion’s Instagram and said she would continue posting links herself for tickets and pay-per-view access. She also confirmed that fans could watch through MILLIONS. She expected supporters to keep sharing the information as the fight approached.

People in France were among those she expected to watch. Camille’s connection to Pure Dream was another source of support, and Oslar said people around her were already posting and sharing details of the event. She described that backing as strong.

A message for women her age

Oslar also wants the fight to mean something to women who might think boxing is beyond them. She pointed out that she is neither in her twenties nor her thirties, without giving an exact age. Her message was that struggles and obstacles need not prevent someone from pursuing a goal if they decide to work toward it.

What did Lauren Oslar say about her post-fight surprise and team?

Lauren Oslar said she will reveal something surprising after the fight, whatever the result, but did not say what it is. She credited coach Camille, yoga teacher Katarina Benden Blend and Casey for helping her prepare, and said Casey would be in her corner.

The promised reveal

Oslar offered the surprise as a reason to stay with the event through the end of her bout. She said the announcement would come regardless of the outcome and expected it to shock people. She gave no further details, keeping it separate from what she had already said about her training and goals.

Camille, Katarina Benden Blend and Casey

Camille’s coaching has reshaped Oslar’s boxing, while Katarina Benden Blend has helped her stretch through yoga. Oslar joked about how stiff she is and thanked Benden Blend for that work. She also praised Casey’s effort, said Casey would be in her corner and suggested fans might see Casey fight soon.

With that team behind her, Oslar asked the crowd to support the show. Her stated aim remains to give them a skilled performance, then share the surprise she has saved for afterward.
