Caroline Dubois became the second world champion in her family last year, and she’s already looking to add even more to that legacy.
The unbeaten Olympian captured the WBC title and now has her sights set on unifying the division. That journey begins on 5 April against Terri Harper at London’s Olympia, headlining Most Valuable Promotions’ first UK event.
There’s no love lost between Dubois and Harper, and their matchup will be an exciting main event for MVP’s Sky Sports debut. Fans can get tickets through Ticketmaster to catch all the action live, including a full slate of world title fights on the card.
Jake Paul’s promotion puts Caroline Dubois within reach of undisputed status
Caroline Dubois started her path towards undisputed champion status by claiming the WBC belt against Bo Mi Re Shin last March. Her next step is a fight with Terri Harper, who holds the WBO title, headlining MVP’s London card.
Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian have assembled much of the top talent in women’s boxing under their banner, giving them plenty of control over potential matchups. If Dubois comes out on top, she’ll be in the same stable as Stephanie Han, who holds the WBA belt.
The only titleholder outside MVP’s reach is IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan, who is with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.
Even so, MVP and Matchroom have worked together without issues in the past. They’ve staged multiple Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fights in recent years. And despite Anthony Joshua’s ties to DAZN, he was able to face Jake Paul on Netflix last December.
Speaking exclusively to BloodyElbow.com about her future in boxing and how being signed to MVP has helped her career so far, Dubois said:
“We’re bringing back the era where everybody fights everybody and the best fight the best,” she said. “Look, back in the day the best sometimes lost. Sugar Ray Leonard got beat by Roberto Duran.
“Hagler lost to Leonard, Duran lost to all those guys – but you don’t think about that. We see it as – we see it as ‘the best were fighting’ – that time period was when they were fighting.”
