Briton Caroline Dubois believes a future showdown with Alycia Baumgardner would be “the biggest fight in women’s boxing.”
The 24-year-old WBC lightweight world champion shared heated words with Baumgardner in December when both fighters appeared on the undercard of Jake Paul v Anthony Joshua.
Dubois – who turned professional in 2022 – has repeatedly called out the experienced American unified super-featherweight world champion.
“Let’s be real – she wants to become a superstar, but you need a superstardom fight,” Dubois told BBC Sport.
“You need two to tango. We both need each other. When it happens, I believe it will be the biggest fight in women’s boxing.”
Dubois, a highly rated southpaw long touted as the future of women’s boxing, expects the match-up to take place in 2027.
“That’s one more year of building and making things happen,” she says. “I hope she sees the benefit of that. I wouldn’t want her to run away from that fight.”
Before that, however, Dubois wants a unification fight with Doncaster’s WBO lightweight champion Terri Harper later this year.
