Dubois: Baumgardner fight will be women's boxing biggest bout
8 Jan
Summary
- Dubois believes a fight with Baumgardner would be women's boxing's biggest.
- She expects the potential showdown to occur in 2027.
- Dubois first aims for a unification fight with Terri Harper.
Caroline Dubois, a prominent British boxer, has expressed her belief that a future match against Alycia Baumgardner would represent the "biggest fight in women's boxing." The 24-year-old WBC lightweight world champion has previously exchanged words with Baumgardner, a unified super-featherweight world champion. Dubois, who turned professional in 2022, sees this potential bout as a crucial step for both athletes to achieve superstardom.
Dubois, a southpaw widely regarded as a future star in women's boxing, is targeting 2027 for the highly anticipated encounter. She stated, "That's one more year of building and making things happen." Dubois hopes Baumgardner will embrace the opportunity for this significant event, emphasizing that "two [fighters] need each other" for such a massive fight to materialize.
Prior to potentially facing Baumgardner, Dubois has set her sights on a unification bout with Terri Harper, the WBO lightweight champion from Doncaster. This fight is slated to occur later this year, serving as a stepping stone in Dubois's ambitious career trajectory.
