Dubois Claims Baumgardner is Intimidated by Potential Fight

Caroline Dubois believes Alycia Baumgardner is hesitant to face her in the ring, citing her as a formidable opponent. Following her recent victory over Terri Harper to unify the WBC and WBO lightweight world championships, Dubois has been engaging in a verbal spat 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. Despite this, Dubois hopes Baumgardner emerges victorious, acknowledging her as a significant name in the sport. Dubois is increasing the pressure on Baumgardner to agree to a fight, stating that the American does not want to face her. The Londoner believes the fight would be a great match and is calling for it to happen, suggesting that Baumgardner's promoter and her own courage are the only obstacles. 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, making for an exciting match.
