Posted 1 months ago

Briton Caroline Dubois will compete against Maira Moneo for the WBC 'interim' lightweight world title at Barnsley's Oakwell Stadium on Saturday, August 3rd.

Caroline Dubois, 23, has signed a long-term deal with Boxxer and will defend her IBO title against Uruguayan Maira Moneo at Barnsley's Oakwell Stadium on Saturday, August 3rd. Dubois is eyeing a future fight with undisputed world champion Katie Taylor.

"I'm ready to announce myself on the big stage. I want to be world champion," Dubois said. "I want to unify the division, become undisputed, and then move up in weight."

Katie Taylor holds all major light-welterweight titles and the WBA and WBC belts at lightweight, with a bout against Amanda Serrano scheduled for November.

Dubois added, "After this fight, I will be on a collision course with Katie Taylor. I will be the interim champion, her mandatory, and unless she vacates, we’re fighting next."

Moneo, 31, has only one loss in 15 professional fights. The Dubois-Moneo fight will be part of the undercard for the British and Commonwealth title fight between super-middleweights Zak Chelli and Callum Simpson at Barnsley Football Club's stadium.
