American boxing legend Claressa Shields has publicly endorsed Caroline Dubois as a future multi-weight world champion. The two-time Olympic gold medalist, currently the undisputed heavyweight champion, sees significant parallels between her own career and the rising British star. Shields, six years Dubois' senior and vastly more experienced, relates to the young fighter's journey.

Dubois is set to challenge Terri Harper for the WBC and WBO lightweight world titles on April 5th, live on Sky Sports. Shields expressed immense pride in Dubois, stating she is 'the biggest fan' and sees her own traits reflected in the 23-year-old. 'I believe she can be multiple weight world champion,' Shields declared, highlighting Dubois' height, reach, power, and potential to 'put people's lights out'.
