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 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 eager to see her win, viewing it as an opportunity to eventually face her in a high-profile match.
However, Dubois also thinks that Baumgardner will struggle against Shin and expects her to have a tough fight. Dubois is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a bout, stating that she doesn't think Baumgardner wants to fight her and that every time Baumgardner's name is mentioned, people associate her with Dubois. The Londoner is confident in her abilities and believes that a fight between the two would be great for the fans.
If the fight with Baumgardner cannot be made, Dubois has other options, including a potential match against Elif Nur Turhan, the IBF champion at 135lbs. Dubois views Turhan as a dangerous but not particularly skilled fighter and thinks that 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.
