Undefeated WBC and WBO lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois has declared her desire to face fellow champion Alycia Baumgardner, labeling the potential matchup as "boxing's next great rivalry." Dubois, who holds a perfect 15-0 professional record, made the comments in an interview published on November 8, 2026.
The British fighter, who currently holds two major lightweight titles, believes a clash with Baumgardner would capture the imagination of the boxing world. Baumgardner, an American, is the undisputed super featherweight champion and has also expressed interest in moving up in weight for significant fights.
Dubois's call-out adds to growing anticipation for a cross-promotional bout that would unify divisions and elevate women's boxing. Both fighters are represented by different promotional outfits, which could complicate negotiations, but the mutual interest suggests a path forward may exist.
