Caroline Dubois spends some time talking about her disappointment in not being able to secure a title unification fight just yet as she aims to go undisputed, and keeping busy in the meanwhile rather than sitting around and waiting for the big fights to come her way. Dubois would also call out some rivals who she believes to be ducking the smoke.
Dubois on why she’s not unifying titles in her next fight
“It’s very disappointing. The goal was to fight either Elif Turhan or Stephanie Han . Unfortunately the Elif Turhan fight fell apart and unfortunately the Stephanie Han fight is something that has to wait, she just fought recently. So, she’s resting or recovering and hopefully we can get that fight end of the year, that’s the plan. I’m disappointed with Elif. We sent her an offer, she turned it down and, yeah, at the end of the day you can’t force someone into the ring.”
On leaving trainer Shane McGuigan
“There’s a few reasons, I’m not going to go into them. At the end of the day, all I can say is the facts. I’m so happy with what we’ve achieved, I’m so happy for where I’m at, and I’m so excited for the future. And I know another fact is I want to be better…I want to dominate. You have to train to dominate. You have to train, you have to push yourself and I think the definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect a different result. So if you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.
“Working with Manny Robles now, I’ve been with him for three weeks now and it’s been really good, really positive, great sparring, the work is good…I’m just happy to be in an exciting, booming gym.”
On Alycia Baumgardner not attending the festivities
“I think she’s a coward. At the end of the day I think she knew I was going to be here, she knew that Mikaela Mayer was going to be here — she probably just thought ‘nah, I don’t want it’. She doesn’t want it and I think it’s a lame move. You come all the way out to the UK and you don’t turn up? You don’t want to be in the mix of some big fights? You got a table full of opponents that could possibly be in [with], you’re not about it?! I think it’s real disappointing and it shows her character.”
