Dubois Reveals She Fought Through Illness to Defeat Harper, Now Sets Sights on Future Fights
Caroline Dubois disclosed that she fell ill on the day of her bout against Terri Harper, but persevered to achieve a unanimous decision win. The victory at Kensington's Olympia on Sunday saw Dubois unify Harper's WBO lightweight title with her own WBC championship. Dubois revealed that she woke up with a severe flu but managed to push through, pacing herself during the fight. Now, as a unified world champion, Dubois reflects on the experience gained from her 10 rounds with Harper, acknowledging Harper's intelligence and experience in the ring. Dubois' team is interested in arranging a match with Katie Taylor, but Dubois herself is more focused on a potential showdown with American rival Alycia Baumgardner by the end of the year, seeking to determine who is the best in the division.
