Boxing Ring: Prospect Caroline Dubois is ambitious and on the rise quickly. Ben Shalom, the promoter, claims that she already wants to compete against the biggest stars.
Argentinian Yanina del Carmen Lescano, who is rated No. 2 by the WBC, will face Dubois on Friday, June 16 at London’s York Hall in a battle that will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Dubois aims to force her way into the world championship picture as a mandatory challenger for one of the big titles, despite being young and in the early stages of her professional career.
Despite Katie Taylor’s most recent loss to Chantelle Cameron, who was competing at super-lightweight, the Irish star continues to hold the unquestioned title at 135 pounds.
Dubois’ agent, BOXXER promoter Ben Shalom, believes the Londoner will soon be competing at the top level.
He thinks doing the Lescano bout after that proves it.
“That shows where she’s going to be going,” Shalom said to Sky Sports. She is an anomaly.
The CEO of BOXXER stated, “In my opinion, Caroline Dubois is prepared for Katie Taylor this year.”
“She is all set to leave. A significant fight for someone in their seventh professional bout would be Lescano. Caroline wants to make a statement, especially at this early stage of her career.”
Although Taylor is anticipated to face Cameron again, it is not yet known if she would switch weight classes to defend her four titles at 135 pounds.
“I believe Chantelle demonstrated that Taylor is more at ease [at lightweight].” The rematch will most likely take place at lightweight,” according to Shalom.
“Getting Caroline Dubois in with Katie Taylor before she departs would be a wonderful way to transmit the mantle. [Dubois] has a unique skill and is a person who made a career change so young. You can see the other fighters’ accomplishments in their 30s when you compare them to this 22-year-old, but his or her potential is scary.”
Shalom recognises that Dubois has genuine longevity in the sport despite her youth.
