The 22-year-old, Olympian Caroline Dubois has claimed the IBO World Lightweight Championship title in her eighth professional fight after smashing out tough, talented opponent Magali Rodriguez in a thrilling 10-round bout.

Dubois dominated the scorecards to a unanimous decision victory by (98-89, 97-90, 99-88) and extended her record to 8-0 at the historic London's York Hall.

Dubois was only eight years old when Rodriguez made her professional debut, with the gap in professional experience between the two being eye-watering.
