Dubois Reveals She Fought Through Illness to Claim Victory

Caroline Dubois has disclosed that she overcame a severe illness on the day of her fight against Terri Harper, ultimately emerging victorious with a unanimous decision. The win allowed her to unify Harper's WBO lightweight title with her own WBC championship. Despite not feeling 100 percent, Dubois persevered, stating, 'Today I woke up with the worst flu I've ever had... I was telling myself to pace this fight.' Now, as a unified world champion, Dubois is eager for her next challenge. Her team would like to see her face Katie Taylor, but Dubois herself is focused on a showdown with Alycia Baumgardner. 'I would jump at the opportunity to fight Katie Taylor,' Dubois said, 'but the fight I want is with Alycia Baumgardner... I want the biggest fight in women's boxing, and I want it next.'
