Dubois Claims Baumgardner is Intimidated by Potential Fight

Caroline Dubois believes Alycia Baumgardner is clearly intimidated by the prospect of facing her in the ring later this year. Following her unification of the WBC and WBO lightweight world championships after defeating Terri Harper, Dubois has been engaging in a heated war of words with the American boxer. Baumgardner is set to defend her IBF, WBA, and WBO super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in New York, and Dubois is confident that her rival will struggle against Shin. Despite hoping Baumgardner emerges victorious, Dubois thinks Shin will expose Baumgardner's weaknesses. The Londoner is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a high-profile bout, stating that Baumgardner does not want the fight and is using the excuse of pursuing bigger matches elsewhere. However, Dubois argues that the fans are eager to see them face each other, and it is a fight that would be beneficial for both boxers. Dubois will continue to verbally challenge Baumgardner, asserting her confidence and conviction in her abilities. If the fight with Baumgardner cannot be arranged, Dubois has other options, including a potential bout against Elif Nur Turhan, the IBF champion at 135lbs. Dubois views Turhan as a dangerous but not particularly skilled opponent and is eager to continue making a name for herself in the boxing world by taking on the biggest challenges and creating a lasting legacy.
