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, WBO, and WBA super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in New York, and Dubois thinks her rival will struggle in the bout. Despite hoping Baumgardner wins, Dubois anticipates that Shin will expose Baumgardner's weaknesses. The Londoner is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a high-profile fight, stating that every time Baumgardner's name is mentioned, people associate her with Dubois. Dubois is confident in her abilities and believes she is the better fighter, saying she plays confidence rather than being a villain. If the fight with Baumgardner cannot be made, Dubois has other options, including a potential bout against Elif Nur Turhan, the IBF champion at 135lbs. Dubois finds Turhan to be a dangerous but not particularly skilled opponent, making for an exciting fight. Her goal is to continue progressing and creating a lasting legacy in the sport.
