Caroline Dubois, the British boxer, has stated that a potential fight against Alycia Baumgardner would be the biggest in female boxing. The 24-year-old WBC lightweight world champion believes that facing the experienced American unified super-featherweight world champion would be a historic and highly anticipated bout.
Dubois, who turned professional in 2022, has repeatedly called out Baumgardner for a fight. She feels that the two boxers need each other to reach new heights in their careers. Dubois believes that their fight would be a "superstardom" clash, with both fighters seeking to prove themselves as the best in the division.
The fight between Dubois and Baumgardner was already generating heat before they faced off at the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua event last month. Tensions had already spilled over earlier in the week when Baumgardner called Dubois "a puppy" who should wait her turn.
Dubois outclassed Camilla Panatta in her first fight in America under the Most Valuable Promotions banner, further boosting her profile across the Atlantic Ocean. The Londoner believes that the exposure has strengthened her profile and led to a significant increase in messages from fans in the US.
Now, Dubois is set to face WBO lightweight champion Terri Harper later this year, with unification bout at lightweight being her immediate priority. She is happy to take on either Stephanie Han or Elif Nur Turhan, who holds notable wins over Harper and Mikaela Mayer. However, Dubois believes that a fight against Harper in the UK would be an ideal next step.
The highly anticipated showdown between Dubois and Baumgardner is expected to take place in 2027, although no official date has been confirmed yet. If the bout does happen, it would indeed be one of the biggest fights in women's boxing history.
