Caroline Dubois believes Alycia Baumgardner is intimidated by the prospect of facing her in the ring later this year. Following her victory over Terri Harper to unify the WBC and WBO lightweight world championships, Dubois has been engaged 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 is confident that her rival will struggle. Dubois has made it clear that she wants to meet Baumgardner in a high-profile match, but thinks that Baumgardner is hesitant due to fear. 'She doesn't want the fight,' Dubois stated, adding that every time Baumgardner's name is mentioned, her own name is constantly brought up.
Dubois is applying pressure on Baumgardner to agree to the fight, saying that it's a great match that the fans want to see. 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 expressed her desire to continue her progression and be involved in the biggest fights, aiming to create a great legacy for herself.
