Caroline Dubois, WBC lightweight champion, calls out WBO champion Terri Harper for a unification bout. Dubois aims to become undisputed by the end of the year.
Caroline Dubois has her sights set on unifying world titles in the lightweight division and has called out Terri Harper for a fight. Dubois holds the WBC lightweight world championship, while Harper is the WBO titlist. \'135lbs is my division. I want to be undisputed by the end of the year. That's the goal, that's the aim for me and we're going to make it happen,' Dubois told Sky Sports. \Dubois didn't get the knockout victory she desired on her 24th birthday against Jessica Camara.
Although she dominated the first two rounds, a cut from an accidental headbutt forced the bout to end early as a technical draw. \Immediately after the fight, Dubois declared her desire to fight Harper: 'Terri Harper. That's who I want. Terri Harper - I want you!' She continued, 'We got the Royal Albert Hall show coming up . That's in London. Terri's from England, I'm from England. It's a domestic showdown. It makes sense. I don't see why not. Fight me, you're going to get beat but you're going to get a big show, you're going to get good pay, it's going to make it worthwhile.' \ Promoter Ben Shalom acknowledges Dubois has other options for a fight as early as March 7. 'The idea is that she will fight on the women's night and it will be a big fight,' Shalom told Sky Sports. 'We want her to become undisputed in the division. We think we can make that happen this year.' \Shalom believes Dubois' next fight should be a unification bout, mentioning Harper, Beatriz Ferreira, Stephanie Han, and Rhiannon Dixon as potential opponents. He expects the Harper fight to be made sometime in 2025
