Taylor's Potential Final Showdown: Dubois Ready for the Challenge
Caroline Dubois is more than willing to step into the ring with Katie Taylor for the Irish boxing legend's potential farewell fight. However, Dubois acknowledges that the decision ultimately rests with Taylor, who holds the upper hand in the situation. 'She's a champion and will retire as one,' Dubois stated. 'It's her call, not hers to make based on what her opponents or others are saying.' Dubois expressed her enthusiasm for the potential match, saying, 'It would be great; I wouldn't turn it down.' Her promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, hopes to make the fight happen, saying, 'My ideal scenario would be for Caroline to be Katie Taylor's final opponent.' Nevertheless, Dubois believes this might not be a realistic possibility and is considering other options, including a unification bout against IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan. Another appealing option for Dubois is a fight against American rival Alycia Baumgardner, the unified super-featherweight champion. 'The Alycia fight is massive, and I know she's trying to avoid it,' Dubois said. 'But it's a big fight, and I'm sure there are people around her who won't let her get away with dodging it.' Dubois plans to continue pushing for the biggest fights possible, aiming to unify again, with a potential match against Elif Nur Turhan being a great option.
