I want to face Baumgardner, it will be boxing's next great rivalry - Dubois
In her BBC Sport column, Caroline Dubois believes a fight with Alycia Baumgardner could redefine women's boxing.
Caroline Dubois, the unified lightweight world champion, believes Alycia Baumgardner and she could create one of the biggest rivalries in women's boxing history. Dubois is the WBC and WBO lightweight world champion, while Baumgardner is one of the biggest names in women's boxing. They have had some bad blood, with Baumgardner calling Dubois a "puppy" in Miami last year.
Dubois is confident she will knock Baumgardner out and become the biggest name in women's boxing, while Baumgardner believes Dubois is her hardest, biggest, and most dangerous fight. Dubois dreams of the fight taking place at the O2 Arena in London, headlining the event with four world titles on the line. She aims to become undisputed in 2027, and if Baumgardner loses to her opponent Elif Nur Turhan, Dubois would be her next target.
Turhan is a heavy-handed, aggressive fighter who could potentially knock Baumgardner out early, but Dubois believes Baumgardner's better boxing skills will give her an advantage if she survives the early rounds.
