Caroline Dubois Unifies WBC and WBO Lightweight Titles Over Terri Harper

The result positions Dubois to chase full undisputed status at 135 pounds.

Overview

  • Dubois won a wide unanimous decision in London on Sunday, scoring a sixth-round knockdown en route to cards of 98-91, 98-91 and 97-92.
  • Harper suffered a cut above her left eye in the later rounds and pressed forward late, yet her surge did not change the judges’ totals.
  • After the bout, Dubois said she woke up with “the worst flu” on fight day and focused on pacing to get through the ten rounds.
  • The fight headlined Most Valuable Promotions’ first UK show on Sky Sports and ESPN+, where Ellie Scotney also became Britain’s youngest four-belt undisputed champion.
  • Dubois and her promoters now eye the WBA and IBF titles held by Stephanie Han and Elif Nur Turhan, with talk of marquee options such as Alycia Baumgardner or a potential Katie Taylor send-off.
