Caroline Dubois admits frustration at defending her unified WBC, WBO and Ring Magazine lightweight titles against Amelia Moore on August 29 at MVPW-06 in Birmingham, rather than pursuing unification with IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan. The 25-year-old Briton unified three belts after dropping Terri Harper en route to a unanimous decision win in April.

Dubois blasted Turhan's "ridiculous" financial demands, calling the 31-year-old "Golden Turkish Warrior" a "joker" who asked for "retirement money." She warned Turhan's recent performances have been "shaky" and she could lose the belt before a unification materializes.

Dubois has turned to Stephanie Han, the undefeated American WBA champion, police officer and former pageant queen who recently edged Holly Holm in a controversial decision. The pair shook hands and agreed to fight, with Dubois targeting a year-end bout to fulfill her three-fight MVP commitment.
