Caroline Dubois believes Alycia Baumgardner is clearly intimidated by the prospect of facing her in the ring later this year. Following her recent victory over Terri Harper to unify the WBC and WBO lightweight world championships, Dubois 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 is confident that her rival will struggle against Shin.
Dubois has expressed her desire to meet Baumgardner in a high-profile match, stating that she wants to see Baumgardner win her upcoming fight. However, Dubois also believes that Shin will expose Baumgardner's weaknesses, making for a tough contest. The Londoner is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a boxing match, claiming that Baumgardner does not want to fight her.
Dubois argues that the fans are calling for a matchup between the two boxers and that it would be a great fight. She also stated that she is not trying to be a villain but is instead confident in her abilities and willing to speak her mind.
If a fight with Baumgardner cannot be arranged, 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, making for an exciting matchup. Ultimately, Dubois aims to continue her progression and be involved in the biggest fights, creating a lasting legacy for herself in the boxing world.
