Taylor's Final Showdown: Dubois Ready for Potential Last Fight

Caroline Dubois is more than willing to step into the ring with Katie Taylor for the Irish legend's swan song, but acknowledges that Taylor holds the reins in deciding her final opponent. Dubois expressed her sentiments to Sky Sports, stating, "Katie's the one calling the shots since it's her last fight; she's the champion and will retire as one. The decision lies with her, not her opponents or those challenging her. "I wouldn't decline the offer; it would be an incredible experience," she added. Her promoter, Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian's MVP, is eager to make this fight a reality. Bidarian shared, "My ideal scenario would be for Caroline to be Katie Taylor's final opponent. However, Dubois has reservations about the likelihood of this matchup. In an interview with Sky Sports News, she said, "Katie Taylor is one of the most significant fights in women's boxing; she's a legend with only one bout left. Honestly, who would turn down the opportunity to fight her? "If given the chance, I'd take it without hesitation. While I'm not sure how realistic it is, I'm exploring other options, including a unification bout against IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan, which I find appealing. Dubois has her sights set on American rival Alycia Baumgardner, the unified super-featherweight champion, also promoted by MVP. "The fight against Alycia is massive, and I know she's avoiding it, but it's a significant bout. I'm aware that people around her won't let her get away with claiming to be the best while calling out Claressa Shields at higher weight classes but refusing to move up 5lbs to face me, "They won't let her get away with saying she's the best and then not facing a formidable opponent like myself. I hope people hold her accountable for her words and the image she's trying to project. In the meantime, I'll continue to pursue the biggest fights possible and strive to unify again, with Elif being a great potential opponent."
