Caroline Dubois, the UK's unified WBC and WBO lightweight world champion, is on a quest to unify the belts and become the undisputed champion. However, her journey has taken a turn for the worse as she faces a setback with her potential fight against IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan. Dubois, who recently defeated Terri Harper to unify the WBC, WBO, and Ring Magazine lightweight belts, is now frustrated at having to fight for the defence of her title rather than a unification bout.
Dubois, 25, blasts Turhan, who goes by the moniker 'Golden Turkish Warrior', for her 'ridiculous' demands. She claims that Turhan asked for an astronomical amount of money, which was absurd and crazy. Dubois believes that Turhan isn't serious about the fight and is just a joker. She also warns Turhan against profligacy when defending her title, suggesting that she may lose the belt to someone else.
Despite the setback, Dubois is determined to move on and has turned her attentions to Stephanie Han, a rising American boxer, police officer, and former pageant queen. Han, who recently retained her WBA lightweight title, is now in Dubois' sights. Dubois believes that Han is serious about the fight and is willing to hold her to a promise. She is confident that the fight will happen by the end of the year, and she is owed three fights with the MVP in a year.
The article explores the implications of Dubois' setback and her determination to move on. It also delves into the potential fight between Dubois and Han, and the broader implications of Dubois' quest to become the undisputed champion. Dubois' personal perspective on the situation is also explored, as she reflects on her disappointment with Turhan and her determination to move on to the next fight.
