Caroline Dubois is not only making waves in boxing but is also aiming to leave a significant mark in a short span of time. With an undefeated record of 10 wins and five knockouts since her professional debut in 2022, Dubois has positioned herself as a force to be reckoned with in the lightweight division.

As she approaches her 24th birthday, Dubois is set to defend her WBC title for the first time against Canada's Jessica Camara in Sheffield this weekend. Dubois's ambitions are clear: "I want to be undisputed in three weight divisions and then retire by 30. That would be sick," she stated confidently.

Rapid Rise and Family Legacy

Dubois became the world champion in December, following Katie Taylor's decision to vacate the belt. This achievement puts her alongside her brother, heavyweight champ Daniel Dubois, marking them as the first brother-sister duo from the UK to hold world titles simultaneously — a rare hallmark in boxing history.

While she's excited about her new title, Dubois wants to make her presence known, declaring, "I want to make a statement and let the world know that Caroline Dubois is a world champion and she will reign for a very long time."

Dubois’s journey didn’t just begin after her title; she has been aiming for greatness ever since she stood out in the Youth Olympics. She has skillfully navigated her career with patience, strategically building her reputation before calling out the biggest names in the sport. Although a marquee match against Taylor could have thrust her into the limelight, she remains unfazed. "I don’t feel like I need Katie Taylor, and to be honest, she doesn’t need me right now," Dubois said.

Future Fights and Goals

Currently, Dubois is focused on her upcoming fight against underdog Camara. Looking beyond this bout, she has set her sights on unifying the division by winning the vacant WBA title and challenging IBF champion Beatriz Ferreira and WBO belt-holder Terri Harper in 2025.

Dubois has expressed her lack of respect for Harper’s recent performances, stating, "It didn’t show me the desire and the heart required to be a world champion." The prospect of facing the best in the division drives her motivation.

Personal Struggles and Strength

Despite the glory, Dubois’s life outside the ring has been tumultuous, marked by a rift with her father and the strain on her relationship with her brother. In the midst of these difficulties, boxing has remained her refuge. "If boxing was taken away from me tomorrow, I would be devastated. I would be broken," she reflected. Her resilience shines through as she focuses on her ambitions and the positives in her life.

In a sport often marred by setbacks, Caroline Dubois stands out not just for her achievements but also for her spirit and determination. With lofty aspirations and a clear vision, she threatens to change the narrative of women’s boxing one bout at a time.

Conclusion

As Dubois prepares to defend her title, the world watches closely. The journey of this young champion is far from over, and with her grace and grit, she looks poised to achieve her dreams and potentially retire before she hits 30.
