Harper Claims Dubois Lost Composure in Pre-Fight Confrontation
Terri Harper believes she has gained a psychological advantage over Caroline Dubois after their tense encounter during a photoshoot. The two fighters will face off on Sunday for the WBO and WBC lightweight titles, and Harper claims that Dubois was left flustered after being pushed away during the photo opportunity. Harper stated that Dubois 'panicked' and was 'off script,' suggesting that her opponent was not prepared for the confrontation. The Doncaster fighter said she intentionally shoved Dubois to remind her that she is a serious contender for the titles. Harper also expressed confidence in her ability to exploit Dubois' weaknesses, citing her opponent's decision to split her training between the US and the UK as a sign of insecurity. Dubois, however, sees her time spent training in America as a beneficial experience, allowing her to spar with a variety of partners and adopt a different training style. The highly anticipated fight will take place on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
