Taylor's Final Showdown: Dubois Ready for Potential Matchup

Caroline Dubois is more than willing to step into the ring with Katie Taylor for the Irish boxing legend's potential retirement fight. However, Dubois acknowledges that the decision ultimately rests with Taylor, who holds the power in this situation. 'Since it's Katie's last fight, she's the one calling the shots,' Dubois explained to Sky Sports. 'As a champion, she'll retire as a champion, and it's her decision, not her opponents' or the people challenging her.' Dubois' promoter, Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian's MVP, is eager to make this highly anticipated fight a reality. Bidarian expressed his desire for Dubois to be Taylor's final opponent, stating, 'My ideal scenario is for Caroline to be Katie Taylor's last dance partner.' Although Dubois is open to the fight, she believes it's unlikely to happen. 'Katie Taylor is one of the biggest names in women's boxing, and she's a legend with only one fight left,' Dubois said. 'Who wouldn't want to take on that fight? If given the chance, I'd take it without hesitation, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.' With the Taylor fight uncertain, Dubois is exploring other options, including a unification bout against IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan. She's also set her sights on American rival Alycia Baumgardner, the unified super-featherweight champion. 'The fight against Alycia is massive, and I know she's been avoiding it,' Dubois said. 'But I know 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 fighters like Claressa Shields at higher weight classes but refusing to move up to face me.' Dubois is determined to hold Baumgardner accountable for her actions and is pushing for the biggest fights possible. 'I want to unify again, and Elif is a great fight,' Dubois stated.
