In Short: Caroline Dubois has ramped up her calls for a fight with Alycia Baumgardner after trading words at a recent boxing event.

Caroline Dubois has ramped up her calls for a fight with Alycia Baumgardner, after trading words at a recent boxing event, according to reports. Dubois, 25, expressed a preference for a fight to take place in the UK, rather than on Baumgardner's home turf.

In August, Dubois outpointed Amelia Moore to retain her WBC and WBO lightweight titles, setting the stage for a potential unification fight with Baumgardner, who is a former undisputed super-featherweight champion and is set to challenge Elif Nur Turhan for the IBF lightweight belt in November.

Dubois told The Independent, 'I knew she was coming obviously to fight week to announce her fight, so I expected we were going to trade words at some point, and we were going to see each other.

Should Baumgardner win her upcoming bout, Dubois is keen on a unification fight with the 32-year-old, according to reports from the Independent.
