Caroline Dubois is pushing for a showdown with Alycia Baumgardner, convinced it could reshape the landscape of women's boxing.
Caroline Dubois has picked her target, and she is not shy about it. The British star wants Alycia Baumgardner next, and she believes the matchup has everything needed to become the defining rivalry in women's boxing.
In her latest column, Dubois makes the case that this is more than just another name on a fight card. She sees two elite, confident fighters with contrasting backgrounds and a clear appetite for the big stage. That combination, she argues, is exactly what the women's game needs to push itself further into the mainstream spotlight.
The appeal is easy to see. Rivalries are what turn good fights into must-watch events, and women's boxing has been steadily building the talent pool and the audience to support one. A Dubois-Baumgardner clash would put a British contender against an American headliner, with real pride and bragging rights on the line.
For now, it is a call-out rather than a signed contract. But Dubois has put the challenge on the table publicly, and the pressure is on Baumgardner's side to answer. If the fight gets made, expect plenty of noise in the build-up, and a bout that could shift the conversation around where women's boxing goes next.
