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 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. Dubois has expressed her desire to meet Baumgardner in a high-profile match, but thinks her rival may struggle against Shin.
Although Dubois hopes Baumgardner wins, she anticipates a tough fight. The Londoner is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a bout, suggesting that Baumgardner is hesitant due to the significant interest in a potential fight between the two.
Dubois will continue to verbally challenge Baumgardner, stating that she is confident in her abilities and not afraid to express her thoughts. 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.
