Caroline Dubois Claims Alycia Baumgardner is 'Scared' Ahead of Potential Showdown
Caroline Dubois has asserted that Alycia Baumgardner is "most definitely" scared to face her later this year. This statement follows Dubois's recent victory over Terri Harper, where she unified the WBC and WBO lightweight world championships. As Baumgardner prepares to defend her IBF, WBO, and WBA super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in New York this weekend, Dubois has intensified the rivalry. Dubois expressed her desire for a high-profile clash, emphasizing that she sees Shin as a tough opponent who could expose weaknesses in Baumgardner's game. "I want her to win the fight," Dubois stated, acknowledging Baumgardner's promotional skills and popularity. However, she also noted, "Knowing how tough Bo is, I think it will be a hard fight." Dubois believes that fans are eager for a match between her and Baumgardner, stating, "Every time you hear Alycia Baumgardner, the name that is constantly coming up in the comments is Caroline Dubois." She criticized Baumgardner's reluctance, suggesting that fans deserve to see the fight. "It's a great fight. It's going to be down to whether MVP [their promoter] want the fight and whether she can finally find her [courage]." Continuing her confident stance, Dubois remarked, "I don't think I'm being a villain. I'm just saying the truth." Should the bout with Baumgardner not materialize, Dubois has other options, including a potential fight against Elif Nur Turhan, the unbeaten IBF champion. "I want to continue my own progression... I obviously want to create a great legacy for myself," she concluded.
