Dubois Gears Up for WBC Title Defense Against Shin in London Showdown

Caroline Dubois aims to defend her WBC lightweight title against Bo Mi Re Shin on March 7, igniting excitement for women's boxing.

Caroline Dubois is set to defend her WBC lightweight world title against South Korea's Bo Mi Re Shin on March 7 at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. This eagerly awaited bout will serve as the co-main event to Natasha Jonas' welterweight unification clash with Lauren Price, promising an electrifying evening of boxing.

Dubois, at just 24 years old, enters the ring with an unblemished record of 11 wins. Her previous title defense against Jessica Camara ended prematurely due to an accidental cut, resulting in a technical draw; however, she successfully retained her championship. "I think she is going to be a tough challenge, but I believe I'm levels above," Dubois stated confidently. "I'm excited to be a part of such an incredible show. Women's boxing is rocking at the moment. It's doing amazing. It's proven time and time again that it's here and it's here to stay."

Facing her is the formidable Shin, 30, who has experienced two defeats and three draws over 23 professional bouts. Despite her setbacks, she has made a name for herself in the super-featherweight division and is determined. "I have been preparing for Caroline for two years since I first heard of a potential fight with her," Shin remarked, expressing her ambition, "I will become world champion."

The undercard for this stunning event features an exciting all-English featherweight matchup between Karriss Artingstall and Raven Chapman, as well as the professional debut of Olympic bronze medalist Cindy Ngamba. This event not only highlights the rising stars in women’s boxing but also emphasizes the ever-growing popularity and competitiveness of the sport. As fans eagerly anticipate the action, the excitement surrounding this March 7 event is palpable.
