Dubois Overcomes Illness to Claim Victory, Eyes Future Fights

Caroline Dubois has disclosed that she fell ill on the day of her bout against Terri Harper, but still managed to secure a unanimous decision win. Dubois, who unified Harper's WBO lightweight title with her own WBC championship, revealed that she woke up with a severe flu on the day of the fight. Despite not feeling 100%, she pushed through and emerged victorious. Dubois praised Harper's intelligence and experience, stating that she was smarter than anticipated. The Londoner believes that the experience gained from the 10 rounds with Harper will benefit her in future fights. Dubois' team is keen on setting up a match with Katie Taylor, but the boxer herself is more interested in facing American rival Alycia Baumgardner by the end of the year. Dubois expressed her admiration for Taylor, considering her a legend, and stated that she would welcome a fight against her if the opportunity arose. However, her primary focus remains on securing a bout with Baumgardner, which she believes would be the biggest fight in women's boxing.
