Dubois Ready for Potential Taylor Showdown in Irish Icon's Final Fight
Caroline Dubois is open to facing Katie Taylor in what could be the Irish boxer's last professional bout. Dubois, the newly crowned WBC and WBO lightweight champion, acknowledges that Taylor holds the power in deciding her final opponent. 'It's her last fight, so she's the one calling the shots,' Dubois stated. Although her promoter hopes to make the fight happen, Dubois is skeptical about the likelihood of it occurring. Instead, she's exploring other options, including a unification bout against IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan and a potential showdown with American rival Alycia Baumgardner, the unified super-featherweight champion. Dubois has been vocal about her desire to face Baumgardner, calling out the American for avoiding a fight. 'The Alycia fight is huge, and I know she's trying to dodge it, but it's a big one, and I'm confident that those around her won't let her get away with it,' Dubois said. With several options on the table, Dubois is focused on securing the biggest fights possible and unifying the divisions.
