Caroline Dubois will push to turn out to be a compulsory challenger for Katie Taylor’s world titles.
Taylor faces Chantelle Cameron in a rematch at 140lbs this week, however stays the undisputed light-weight champion.
That although does imply Taylor’s 135lb belts haven’t been contested in 2023. Dubois has her sights on these world titles, and would field for an ‘interim’ strap to guarantee she finally will get a compulsory shot.
“An interim belt isn’t a world title, it isn’t the goal but it’s a step in the right direction to get me to that goal. I want to get there sooner rather than later,” Dubois informed Sky Sports.
“We’re waiting on [Taylor]. It really depends on the rematch with Cameron,” she defined.
“Maybe combat for an interim so I can push myself as a compulsory. It actually does rely on how the rematch goes with Cameron. Say she loses, say she wins, what does she determine to do?
“Does she come back down to defend? Regarding that question either her belts will get vacated or there’ll be opportunities for me.”
Dubois wouldn’t hesitate to take the combat with Taylor, however can not predict what the Irish star will do in 2024.
“These fights they take a toll on your body, on your mind and I don’t know how much longer she’s intending on staying. We’re not going to see her in five years’ time for sure. But you will see me in five years’ time,” Dubois stated.
“I want to fight the big names,” she added. “I want to be in the mix.”
That although may in the end imply shifting up in weight. If so, these are challenges and alternatives that Dubois welcomes.
“I want to fly through the weights as quickly as possible. I want the Chantelle Camerons. I want Sandy Ryans,” the Londoner stated. “I want each title you may assume of from 135 to 147lbs.
“I want all the belts. I can go even heavier. I don’t know how long I’m going to stay around and how big my body can grow. It really does depend. You see girls jump up and I’ll be able to jump up as well.”
That’s what Dubois’ boxing idols have performed and the rising star needs to observe that instance.
“I’m a massive of fan of people like Manny Pacquiao, Canelo, Naoya Inoue recently, Terence Crawford. All these people they’re great. But what made them great is they didn’t just do it in one weight division, they moved up and did it at another,” Dubois stated.
“They dominated their weight and moved up and up and up and continued to dominate. I want to be able to do something like that as well.
“They’re breaking the boundaries and pushing what’s thought of to be unimaginable,” she continued. “I want to be somebody like that.
“I want to do something that hasn’t been done before. I want to change the sport of female boxing and be that new face.”
