Dubois wants to face Baumgardner in a major boxing rivalry

Dubois wants to face Baumgardner in a major boxing rivalry

Caroline Dubois wants to fight Alycia Baumgardner and believes their matchup could become boxing’s next great rivalry.

Baumgardner must first face Sampson Turhan, and a loss would not end Dubois’s interest in fighting her.

Dubois says Turhan is powerful and dangerous early, while Baumgardner is the more technical boxer.

The fight will use three-minute rounds, which Turhan has not experienced before.

Dubois’s priority is becoming undisputed, and she says she would pursue Turhan if Turhan beats Baumgardner.

Dubois also has her own fight against Han to deal with before any potential matchup with Baumgardner.
