Dubois Claims Baumgardner is Intimidated by Potential Fight

Caroline Dubois believes Alycia Baumgardner is intimidated by the prospect of facing her in the ring later this year. Dubois, who recently unified the WBC and WBO lightweight world championships by defeating Terri Harper, has been engaging in a war of words with the American boxer. Baumgardner is set to defend her IBF, WBO, and WBA super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in New York, and Dubois thinks she will struggle against her opponent. Despite this, Dubois hopes Baumgardner emerges victorious, as she sees her as a major name in the sport and a potential future opponent. However, Dubois also made it clear that she thinks Baumgardner is hesitant to face her, stating that every time Baumgardner's name is mentioned, hers is also brought up, and that fans are eager to see them fight. Dubois is putting pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a match, saying that it's a great fight that the fans want to see and that it's up to Baumgardner's promoter to make it happen. If the fight with Baumgardner can't be made, Dubois has other options, including a potential match against Elif Nur Turhan, the IBF champion at 135lbs. Dubois thinks Turhan is a dangerous but not particularly skilled fighter, and believes that facing her would be an exciting and challenging bout.
