Dubois Overcomes Illness to Unify Titles, Eyes Future Fights

Caroline Dubois revealed that she fought Terri Harper while battling a severe illness on the day of their bout. Despite not feeling 100%, Dubois secured a unanimous decision victory, unifying Harper's WBO lightweight title with her own WBC championship. "I woke up with the worst flu I've ever had, but I paced myself and pushed through to get the win," Dubois said. The experience of her 10 rounds with Harper will benefit Dubois, who now looks forward to future challenges. Dubois' team would like to see her face Katie Taylor, but the boxer herself is focused on a showdown with Alycia Baumgardner. "If Katie Taylor wants to fight me, I'd jump at the opportunity, but my priority is Baumgardner - I want to prove I'm the best," Dubois stated.
