Caroline Dubois faces Terri Harper in lightweight world title clash
Caroline Dubois will defend her WBC lightweight title against WBO champion Terri Harper at London’s Olympia on Sunday in a pivotal unification bout for women’s boxing.
The highly anticipated domestic clash pits two active world champions against each other in a genuine rivalry.
Harper enters the ring as a seasoned veteran of 10 world title fights across four different weight classes over the past six years.
The 27-year-old has remarkably claimed global belts at both super-featherweight and super-welterweight since leaving her job in a local fish and chip shop.
Chasing the elusive number one spot
Dubois remains undefeated in 13 professional contests and views this bout as a crucial stepping stone towards undisputed status.
The young Londoner ultimately hopes to succeed Irish legend Katie Taylor as the premier female fighter in the sport.
American star Alycia Baumgardner also remains a primary target for the ambitious unbeaten prospect.
She is certainly a good talker.

Cameron seeks fresh world honours
