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, WBA, and WBO super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in New York, and Dubois thinks her opponent will struggle. Despite this, Dubois hopes Baumgardner emerges victorious, as she wants to face her in a high-profile bout. The Londoner is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a fight, stating that the American does not want to face her. Dubois claims that every time Baumgardner's name is mentioned, her own name is brought up, and she believes the fans want to see them fight. The Briton is confident in her abilities and is not afraid to speak her mind, which she believes may be perceived as playing the villain. However, Dubois thinks she is simply being confident and honest. If a fight with Baumgardner cannot be made, Dubois has other options, including a potential bout against Elif Nur Turhan, the IBF champion at 135lbs. Dubois thinks Turhan is a dangerous fighter, but not necessarily a skilled one, and believes a fight against her would be exciting. Ultimately, Dubois wants to continue progressing in her career, be involved in the biggest fights, and create a lasting legacy for herself.
