Caroline Dubois defeated Terri Harper via a 10-round unanimous decision at the Olympia in Kensington, England, defending her WBC title while winning Harper’s WBO belt.

 

Dubois, a 2020 British Olympian, looks the part of a breakout star. Dubois is giving the interviews that merit attention and matches them with high-level performances in the ring. Dubois, 12-0-1 (5 KOs), is the sister of former heavyweight titleholder Daniel Dubois, but is making a name in her own right.

 

So, who could be next for her?

 

3. Alycia Baumgardner 

Record: 17-1 (7 KOs)

Chances of happening: 20 percent

Level of excitement: 10/10

 

Baumgardner is a three-belt titleholder at junior lightweight, who was undisputed at one time. She is a star and has had words for Dubois. The bout is an interesting test for both, and the best fight that can be made at or around the weight class. If Baumgardner chooses to move up in weight, she would look to face off with a young up-and-comer. Dubois wants to prove that she is the next superstar in women’s boxing, and defeating Baumgardner would help her cement that.

 

2. Elif Nur Turhan

Record: 13-0 (8 KOs)

Chances of happening: 30 percent

Level of excitement: 8/10

 

Turhan is a unique figure. She is a crude puncher who hits hard, and won a women’s lightweight title last year and knocked out three unbeaten fighters. In January, she looked limited in a quick return against Taylah Gentzen. A healthy skepticism will persist with her career, given her lack of traditional boxing skill. A fight between Turhan and Dubois would show where both fighters are at.

 

1. Stephanie Han-Holly Holm II, winner

Record: Han: 12-0 (3 KOs) ; Holm: 34-3-3 (9 KOs)

Chances of happening: 50 percent

Level of excitement: 5/10

 

Han defeated Holm a few days into 2026. The bout will be rematched on May 30. The first fight was abruptly stopped due to a cut that opened on Han’s forehead, not allowing her to continue. Han holds the WBA lightweight title, and the winner would be a good unification bout for Dubois. All three fighters share the same promoter, Most Valuable Promotions.
