British lightweight Caroline Dubois successfully defended her WBC world title following a technical draw in a bout with Jessica Camara, marked by a clash of heads.
On her 24th birthday, Dubois showcased her skill by dropping Camara with a precise left hand in the opening round. The Londoner continued her assault in the second, causing a cut above Camara's left eye due to an accidental head collision.
With Camara's eye swelling and blood flowing, the referee and ringside doctor halted the fight before the third round, deeming the Canadian unfit to continue. Dubois, with a record of 10 pro wins, expressed concern for her opponent's well-being.
Having been promoted from interim to full world champion, Dubois sets her sights on a unification match with WBO champion Terri Harper. The British boxer aims to further solidify her status in the lightweight division.
Despite the unsatisfactory conclusion, Dubois delivered an exceptional display of boxing skills in the brief encounter. Her aggressive approach and powerful punches showcased her dominance in the ring.
Trainer Shane McGuigan hailed Dubois as the "best female fighter on the planet," emphasizing her potential in the sport. While seeking a marquee opponent to elevate her profile, Dubois remains confident in her abilities to succeed at the highest level.
