Caroline Dubois has directly challenged Alycia Baumgardner ahead of her own title defense, claiming the American champion is 'lost' without viable opponents. Dubois unified the WBC and WBO lightweight titles by defeating Terri Harper in April and now faces Amelia Moore in Birmingham on August 29. The 22-year-old believes Baumgardner needs this fight more than she does.

Baumgardner has previously stated Dubois must prove herself worthy, but the British champion dismissed this stance. 'She wanted the Katie Taylor fight but that's not happening, she wanted the Amanda Serrano fight but that's not happening,' Dubois said. She argued that becoming undisputed champion would eliminate any arguments against their potential clash. The Birmingham card also features Mikaela Mayer versus Chantelle Cameron in a headline unification bout.

Dubois hailed Katie Taylor as 'the GOAT' ahead of Taylor's farewell fight against Flora Pili at Croke Park in Dublin on September 5. 'She sold out 80,000 which is phenomenal,' Dubois noted, adding that Taylor deserves to end her career on her own terms. While Dubois expressed regret about never facing Taylor, she remains focused on building her own legacy.

The event showcases the depth of British women's boxing, with Dubois positioned as one of the sport's rising stars. Her confidence in calling out established champions reflects the new generation's ambition to dominate the lightweight division.
