Taylor's Final Showdown: Will Dubois Be Her Last Opponent?

Caroline Dubois is more than willing to step into the ring with Katie Taylor for the Irish boxer's farewell fight, but acknowledges that the decision ultimately rests with Taylor herself. "Katie holds all the cards in her final bout, and I genuinely believe that," Dubois said in an interview with Sky Sports. "As a champion, she will retire as a champion, and it's up to her to decide who she faces last, not her opponents or those calling her out. "It would be an incredible opportunity, and I wouldn't hesitate to take it. Dubois's promoter, Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian's MVP, is keen to make this fight a reality. Bidarian expressed his desire, saying, "My ideal scenario is for Caroline to be Katie Taylor's last opponent. However, Dubois is skeptical about the likelihood of this matchup. She stated, "Katie Taylor is one of the biggest names in women's boxing, a legend with only one fight left. Who would honestly turn down the chance to face her? "If given the opportunity, I would seize it without hesitation. However, I'm not sure how realistic that is, so I'm exploring other options. One such option is a unification bout against IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan, which Dubois finds appealing. She is also targeting American rival Alycia Baumgardner, the unified super-featherweight champion, also promoted by MVP. "A fight against Alycia would be massive, and I know she's been avoiding it. But I believe there are people around her who won't let her get away with it, "They won't let her claim to be the best while calling out Claressa Shields at a higher weight class but refusing to move up 5lbs to face 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 push for the biggest fights possible and aim to unify again, with a great fight against Elif being a top priority.
