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. 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, and Dubois expects a challenging fight for her. Although Dubois hopes Baumgardner emerges victorious, she thinks Shin will expose Baumgardner's weaknesses. The Londoner is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a high-profile match, stating that Baumgardner does not want the fight. Dubois claims that every time Baumgardner's name is mentioned, her own name is always brought up, and she believes they should give the fans the fight they are calling for. 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 described Turhan as a dangerous but not particularly skilled fighter and expressed her desire to continue making progress and creating a lasting legacy in the sport.
