Press Release:
Caroline Dubois, one of the most exciting prospects in world boxing, has committed her future to BOXXER, signing a long-term promotional pact with the next generation boxing promoter.
Confirmation of the new deal comes with an announcement of world title action for the fast-rising star, who faces Maira Moneo for the IBO and WBC Interim World Lightweight Championships on Saturday, August 3rd at Oakwell Stadium in Barnsley, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and Peacock in the USA.
Dubois will be defending her IBO World Title, while Moneo puts her WBC Interim World Title on the line with the winner set on a collision course to face Irish boxing legend and current WBC World Lightweight Champion Katie Taylor.
Twenty-three-year-old star ‘Sweet Caroline’ Dubois (9-0, 5 KOs) has got off to the perfect start to her professional career having already been crowned Youth Olympic, World Youth and four-time European Youth champion as an amateur.
Dubois’ unbeaten run in the paid ranks includes a convincing win over Magali Rodriguez to claim the IBO World Title in September 2023 and a successful defence of the belt against Miranda Reyes in February 2024.
The Shane McGuigan trained fighter will now fight for the WBC Interim World Title title as she joins a historic night of boxing in Barnsley topped by the British and Commonwealth Super Middleweight Title fight between defending champion Zak Chelli and local star Callum Simpson.
To realize a dream fight with Katie Tylor, Dubois must first overcome Moneo (14-1, 3 KO), the former WBA Interim World Lightweight Title holder and current WBC Interim World Lightweight Champion.
Known as ‘La Panterita’, the thirty-one-year-old Uruguayan, Moneo, has mixed with top level opposition. She holds a victory over former two-weight world ruler Erica Anabella Farias and the only blemish on her record is the result of a disqualification in a 2020 bout with Yanina del Carmen Lescano due to a clash of heads.
