The Future of Women’s Boxing and Caroline Dubois’ Place In It
Despite being relatively new to professional boxing, Dubois has already set her sights high. She wants to become a mandatory challenger for one of the major belts and force her way into the world title picture.
“For me Caroline Dubois is ready for Katie Taylor this year,” says promoter Ben Shalom. “She always says she’s number one and I believe it.”
Making Statements Early In Her Career
Lescano might be just another opponent but taking such fights shows that she means business when it comes down to making statements early in her career as well as setting up future opportunities against other big names in boxing.
“I think Chantelle showed she [Taylor] is more comfortable [at lightweight]. I do expect the rematch to happen at lightweight,” Shalom said.
If Caroline Dubois is able to keep up her momentum and continue winning fights, she has a bright future ahead of her in boxing. She could be one of those special athletes that come along once in a generation.
