Boxing Live: Caroline Dubois becomes who she truly is when she fights.
Outside the ring, the Londoner speaks quietly. However, after she’s gotten through the ropes, the aggression comes out.
So far, Dubois has seemed to be a vicious finisher, with five consecutive stoppage victories even while boxing two-minute rounds.
“It comes from within. I’m a feisty child with a fire personality; I don’t show it much, but it’s there. I can flip that switch and it comes out,” Dubois said to Sky Sports.
“I’d describe myself as an aggressive person, and being in the ring allows me to express myself the best.
“When I’m in that ring, I feel like I’m who I am. Outside, it’s as if I’m putting on a mask and phoney grins. But in the ring, I can be myself. I can be as aggressive, mean, and nefarious as I want.”
She expects that attitude to be on full show when she fights Argentina’s Yanina Lescano at York Hall on Friday night.
“It’s about handling her in ways she’s never been handled before.” I want to thrash her. “I want to bust her up,” Dubois murmured, a strange smirk on his face.
“I want to put on a terrific show. ‘That girl strikes hard, the greatest female I’ve been in the ring with,’ I want her to remark as she exits the ring. That is something I require.”
Yanina, on the other hand, is a formidable foe for Dubois. The Argentine is ranked second by the WBC, third by the IBF, and sixth by the WBO and WBA. She’s only lost twice, the most recent being a 10-round, split-decision loss against 2016 Olympic gold medalist Estelle Mossely.
“It’s going to be a huge step up for me, and I’m expecting to be challenged. I believe it will go several rounds. I expect it will be fast-paced and exciting, and I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be a lot of fun for me. This is what I practise for and what I live for. I struggle and live for. The tougher it is, the better I’ll be prepared and the better I’ll fight,” Dubois explained.
