Britain's unified lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois has outlined her vision for a blockbuster showdown with Alycia Baumgardner, whom she believes could deliver one of the biggest rivalries in women's boxing history. Speaking ahead of Baumgardner's IBF title fight against Elif Nur Turhan on 8 November, Dubois expressed strong confidence in her ability to defeat Baumgardner, predicting a knockout victory. She emphasized the need for the sport's next major fight and star, highlighting the bad blood already present between them.
Dubois, who holds the WBC and WBO titles, respects Baumgardner's achievements but insists she is the more dangerous fighter. She plans to be ringside for the Turhan bout and will call out the winner, aiming to headline the O2 Arena in London with all four world titles on the line. If Baumgardner loses, Dubois will pursue Turhan instead, though she acknowledges the American's resilience and past defeats of elite fighters.
