Taylor's Potential Final Showdown: Dubois Ready to Step In

Caroline Dubois is more than willing to face Katie Taylor in what could be the Irish boxing legend's last fight. However, Dubois acknowledges that the decision ultimately rests with Taylor, who holds the power in this situation. "Katie's the one calling the shots since it's her final bout," Dubois explained to Sky Sports. "As a champion, she'll retire as a champion, and it's up to her to decide, not her opponents or those calling her out." Dubois' promoter, Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian's MVP, is eager to make this fight a reality. Bidarian stated, "My ideal scenario would be for Caroline to be Katie Taylor's final opponent." Although Dubois is skeptical about the likelihood of this fight, she expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "It would be great, and I wouldn't decline the opportunity." With Taylor's retirement looming, Dubois is also exploring other options, including a unification bout against IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan. Additionally, she has her sights set on a matchup with American rival Alycia Baumgardner, the unified super-featherweight champion. "The fight against Alycia is massive, and I know she's trying to avoid it, but it's a significant bout," Dubois said. "I'm going to pursue the biggest fights possible and aim to unify again, with Elif being a great option."
