Dubois Claims Baumgardner is Intimidated by Potential Fight

Caroline Dubois has expressed her belief that Alycia Baumgardner is intimidated by the prospect of facing her in the ring later this year. Following her recent victory over Terri Harper to unify the WBC and WBO lightweight world championships, Dubois 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 has stated that she hopes Baumgardner emerges victorious, as it would pave the way for a high-profile clash between the two. However, Dubois also thinks that Baumgardner will struggle against Shin, saying 'She's fighting one of my opponents that I've already beaten.' Dubois has been applying pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a fight, stating that the American does not want to face her and is instead looking for easier opponents. The Londoner is confident in her abilities and believes that a fight between her and Baumgardner would be a great spectacle for fans. If the fight with Baumgardner cannot be made, Dubois has other options, including a potential match against Elif Nur Turhan, the current IBF champion at 135lbs. Dubois has expressed her desire to continue making a name for herself in the boxing world and to create a lasting legacy.
