Background
The stunning ascent of Caroline Dubois scales new heights when the 22-year-old prodigy steps up to challenge for the IBO lightweight belt, previously hed by Estelle Mossely. The prodigious Brit faces power-punching Mexican veteran Magali Rodriguez, a former WBA world title challenger and current WBC Silver super-lightweight titleholder who has a 40% finish rate in her professional victories.
Last year, Dubois – a Youth Olympics champion in her amateur career – told interviewers she wanted to win a world title in 2023 in order to put herself in position for big fights with big-name opponents, naming both Mikaela Mayer and Katie Taylor as specific targets. With five stoppage wins from seven outings, Dubois has now blasted her way to contention and the chance to complete stage one of her plan.
Quotes
Caroline Dubois: “It feels amazing to be fighting for the IBO world title and I want to thank BOXXER for making this happen. I just hope I can prove that I am worthy of the accolades that have been bestowed on me. The most important thing is that I have confidence in myself and my abilities.”
Magali Rodriguez: “I've come well-prepared, I've faced a lot of different types of opponents and I am confident I have the experience and the strength to win this fight.”
Ben Shalom,BOXXER CEO: “Caroline Dubois is exceptional and we’ve said ever since she turned professional with BOXXER last year that we expect her to become the future face of the women’s sport, not only in the UK but on the world stage. Her ambition is as big as her talent, but even I didn’t expect her to blast her way to a world title opportunity in just eight fights.”
Predictions
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “Magali is strong and experienced, but I've got a feeling that Dubois could predict her movements to land some clean counters. She throws her shots quite wide, so Caroline's precision and impeccable technique could really do some damage here, but Magali has some good wins under her belt and a wealth of experience so I expect her to be rugged and tough throughout. I'm picking Caroline to win on points.”
