Caroline Dubois, the UK's unified WBC and WBO lightweight world champion, is on a mission to unify the remaining belts and become the undisputed champion. However, her path to glory has taken a turn for the worse due to the antics of IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan, who goes by the moniker 'Golden Turkish Warrior'. Dubois, frustrated with Turhan's 'ridiculous' demands, has now turned her attention to Stephanie Han, a rising American boxer, police officer, and former pageant queen.
Dubois, who recently unified the WBC, WBO, and Ring Magazine lightweight belts, is now gearing up for a 10-round unified championship defence against American Amelia Moore on August 29. But the real challenge lies ahead as she aims to secure the IBF title and complete the undisputed puzzle.
The 25-year-old Dubois expressed her disappointment with Turhan's behaviour, describing her demands as 'astronomical' and 'absurd'. She believes that Turhan is not serious about the fight, and her online bravado is just a facade. Dubois, who is known for her unwavering focus and determination, is not one to be deterred by such antics.
Despite the setback, Dubois remains confident that the fight with Turhan will happen, but she has issued a warning. She believes that Turhan's title defence is not secure and that she could lose the belt to a 'complete nobody'. Dubois plans to focus on her fundamentals, particularly the jab, and is determined to make the fight with Han a reality.
Han, a rising star in the boxing world, recently retained her WBA lightweight title and maintained her undefeated record with a controversial win over Holly Holm. Dubois, who witnessed Han's performance, is impressed by her determination and energy. She is confident that Han will not shy away from the challenge and is eager to make the fight happen.
With the fight with Han set to take place by the end of the year, Dubois is determined to make it happen. She believes that Han is the right opponent to challenge her and is confident that she will emerge victorious. The stage is set for an exciting showdown, and Dubois is ready to take the next step towards her undisputed championship dream.
