Dubois Declares She’ll Take the Belts After Moore Showdown

Caroline Dubois is using her upcoming bout with Amelia Moore on Saturday as a megaphone to let every contender in her weight class know that she is "coming for the belts." The British lightweight will step into the ring at MVPW-06, staged at the bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham and broadcast live on Sky Sports as part of the undercard for the Chantelle Cameron vs. Mikaela Mayer clash. Dubois will be defending both her WBC and WWO titles and hopes to keep her perfect record intact. While Dubois admits she is eager for the fight, she is equally vocal about her broader ambition to unify the entire lightweight division.

In a candid interview with Sky Sports she said, "Honestly, I always think about what comes next. I don’t let the present distract me; I set small, big and massive goals and attach timelines to them. The biggest timeline for me is becoming undisputed.

There are two other champions in the division—Stephanie Han and Elif Nur Turhan. Whoever is the most logical, feasible and accessible opponent for the next fight, I will go after them." Dubois stressed that she does not need to announce herself because she already has a platform; instead, she wants to "cement" her status as the true world champion and prove why she is the sole unified title holder. She added, "It’s about sending a message to all the 135‑pounders that the queen is in town and this is what’s happening—I'm coming for the belts!" The two fighters exchanged a cold stare during a press conference on Tuesday.

Moore claimed she is unshakable, while Dubois said she has seen nothing in Moore that could threaten her. "These are my belts, I’ve worked very hard for them and Amelia Moore isn’t going to take them away from me," Dubois asserted. She recalled spotting Moore during her amateur days, noting, "She was around for three Olympic cycles, I qualified the first time, and I remember seeing her at an international training camp in Colorado. She turned pro, faded from the radar, and now she’s back.

We'll see." Dubois described the fight as a chance to shine without pressure, only excitement. "This is my time to shine, there’s no pressure, just excitement. I can’t wait to go out there, perform and have fun. There are no expectations beyond doing what I do best." When asked about her game plan, Dubois was blunt: "I just can’t wait to step into the ring, land my punches and get this over with.

We’re going to see vintage Caroline Dubois and total domination. I’m not obsessing over a stoppage; I’m focusing on having fun, throwing body and head combos, being aggressive—classic Dubois." The fight gains extra intrigue because unified junior‑lightweight champion Alycia Baumgardner will be ringside. Baumgardner previously said Dubois still needs to prove herself before a potential clash.

Upon learning of Baumgardner’s presence, Dubois exclaimed, "I didn’t know that. Is it true?

I need to see her—this is great! I’ll go to the gym with a smile.

I’m very excited; this is going to be fantastic. Boxing is about rivalries, about two fighters believing they are better than each other and meeting in the ring.

It’s rare in women’s boxing to have a fighter confident enough to say that. Alycia and I, plus Claressa Shields, are probably the only women who can say, “I’m going to take your head off and I’m the best in the division.”" Despite the mutual respect, Dubois did not shy away from critiquing Baumgardner, labeling her "lost" for not agreeing to a fight and accusing her of playing it safe after a previous defeat. "Alycia likes to play it safe.

She’s been beaten already. Once you lose in professional boxing, people can be cut‑throat and forget all you did to get there. She wants to fight retired legends like Amanda Serrano or Katie Taylor rather than the current top dogs because she knows they are dangerous.

I just want to fight the best. I have no issues; I believe in myself and I back myself.

All I care about is being involved in the biggest, most exciting fights. I see Alycia as an exciting fight for me." Baumgardner is slated to move up a division to challenge Elif Nur Turhan for the IBF lightweight world title on November 8, a move that could set up a blockbuster showdown with Dubois later in the year. This potential matchup adds another layer of motivation for Dubois as she eyes the undisputed crown.

Fans can watch the entire MVPW‑06 card, headlined by Mikaela Mayer vs. Chantelle Cameron, on Saturday, August 29, live on Sky Sports or via a contract‑free streaming service.

The event promises high‑octane action, with Dubois’s quest for unification and her bold proclamation that she’s "coming for the belts" serving as a central storyline. In summary, Caroline Dubois enters the ring against Amelia Moore not only to defend her titles but also to broadcast a clear message to the lightweight division: she is the reigning queen, she is hungry for more gold, and she intends to pursue every remaining belt until she becomes the undisputed champion.

Her confidence, combined with a strategic eye on future opponents like Stephanie Han, Elif Nur Turhan and possibly Alycia Baumgardner, underscores a career trajectory aimed at historic unification. The upcoming fight will be a pivotal step on that path, and viewers can expect a blend of technical skill, aggression, and the trademark "vintage" Dubois style that has made her a rising star in women’s boxing.
