Caroline Dubois, Britain’s lightweight world champion, targets three-weight undisputed status before retiring at 30

Caroline Dubois, Britain’s world lightweight champion, has her sights set on a short but illustrious boxing career. At just 23, Dubois dreams of becoming undisputed in three weight divisions before retiring by the age of 30. “That would be sick,” she said with confidence ahead of her first WBC title defence against Canada’s Jessica Camara in Sheffield this Saturday.

Dubois, undefeated in 10 professional bouts with five knockouts, was elevated to world champion status in December after Katie Taylor vacated the belt. Though her championship came without the typical fanfare of an in-ring triumph, Dubois is determined to leave no doubt about her reign. “I want to make a statement and let the world know Caroline Dubois is a world champion who will reign for a very long time,” she declared.

Sharing the limelight with her heavyweight champion brother Daniel Dubois, Caroline made history as part of the UK’s first sibling duo to hold simultaneous world titles. They join an exclusive global club, underscoring her rapid rise in professional boxing since debuting in 2022.

The fight against Camara, held at the Canon Medical Arena, will also mark Dubois’ 24th birthday. Despite the lack of an “and the new” announcement in December, Dubois embraces the pressure of her champion status. “Bigger nights and harder fights are ahead,” she said, underscoring her ambition to unify the division and move up the ranks.

Dubois’ confidence stems from her belief in constant progression. “Undisputed is the goal for me now,” she said, envisioning the type of career that cements her as one of boxing’s greats. For the rising star, it’s not just about collecting titles but also building a legacy that echoes beyond her years in the ring.

As she prepares for Saturday’s clash, Dubois aims to make every fight count. With the spotlight on her and her self-imposed deadline looming, she knows the stakes are high. “There’s no time to waste,” Dubois asserted. Her relentless drive reflects a hunger for greatness, one that could see her rewrite history in the years to come.

With power, skill, and an unwavering focus, Dubois is poised to deliver another stellar performance against Camara. Fans can expect a thrilling display from a fighter determined to dominate her division and etch her name into boxing lore before walking away on her own terms.
