Press Release:
Caroline Dubois will defend her WBC World Lightweight Title against WBC #1 contender Bo Mi Re Shin on Friday, March 7th at the Royal Albert Hall in London, presented by BOXXER, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.
Dubois’ world championship defence will provide chief support for the thrilling all-British welterweight world title unification clash between Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price MBE, which headlines a historic all women’s boxing event at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall.
‘Sweet Caroline’ Dubois captured the WBC Interim World Title with a one-sided points win over Maira Moneo in Barnsley in August. The Tokyo 2020 Olympian was then upgraded to full WBC Champion when Irish boxing legend Katie Taylor opted to vacate her lightweight title rather than face her.
Making the first defence of her WBC crown on January 11th in Sheffield, Dubois had to settle for a frustrating technical draw against Jessica Camara. The 24-year-old Londoner dropped Camara in the opening round and looked set to end the fight in spectacular fashion when an accidental clash of heads opened a cut above Camara’s left eye and forced an end to the fight.
Like Dubois, South Korea’s Bo Mi Re Shin is known for her all-action style. The 30-year-old from Seoul has 10 knockouts from her 18 victories. She is a former WBC International Champion, who is currently ranked #1 in the world with the WBC. She is undefeated in her last three contests following a split decision loss to former long reigning WBC World Champion Delfine Persoon.
