Caroline Dubois is ramping up the pressure on Terri Harper in pursuit of a title-unification bout. The 24-year-old retained her WBC lightweight title in December by outpointing Camilla Panatta on her debut under Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) banner, remaining unbeaten at 12-0-1.
Dubois has set her sights on WBO champion Harper, another Briton. "I've been calling out Terri for a while now, and she would know that's the fight I want," Dubois told The Independent. "We're both British fighters, we both represent the same things, we both have a belt, we're both on the same platform and promotion, so it makes so much sense for us to fight next."
Dubois became WBC champion after Katie Taylor vacated the regular title in December 2024. She has since drawn with Jessica Camara and defeated Bo Mi Re Shin and Panatta. Despite her youth, she is keen to step up: "I can't step back and continue fighting people that people don't know. I have to step up and fight big names, I have to unify the division."
Her December fight marked her US debut and first on Netflix, which drew over 30 million viewers for the main event. Dubois said the experience felt like "another day" after fighting on Sky Sports. She hopes to continue fighting in Britain despite her MVP deal, saying "I hope I still have the opportunities to fight at home."
