Caroline Dubois: I want to fight Alycia Baumgardner this year, then I'll move up to 147lbs for Mikaela Mayer!

Caroline Dubois expects to fight Alycia Baumgardner and Mikaela Mayer sooner than many expect.

Dubois meets Terri Harper in a WBO and WBC world lightweight championship unification on Sunday, live on Your Site.

She is determined to power on through Harper, targeting the biggest future fights wherever they can be found.

Dubois wants to move quickly. Baumgardner is a big-name opponent, who's currently a unified super-featherweight champion. She has previously knocked out Harper and has the power to move up to 135 lbs.

Dubois wants more lightweight unifications first but still anticipates that fight happening later in 2026.

"I want to fight Baumgardner at the end of the year. There's no point wasting time. It's a big fight," Dubois told Your Site.

"Let's go for it. She's no longer undisputed world champion so she can't say it has to be an undisputed fight. I want to have that fight by the end of this year."

Mayer is a two-weight world champion and current holder of the WBO welterweight championship.

Mayer, another big-name American, has just signed with Most Valuable Promotions, who also represent Dubois. The Londoner will push for that fight.

"After Baumgardner, I'll then move up to 147lbs. I don't want to mess around. There's no big fights for me at 140, I'm chasing only big fights," Dubois declared.

"I'm not obsessed with the belts. I like the belts, I like what they bring, but I'm obsessed with the fights, the bigger the fights, the scarier the fight, the scarier the opponent, you're going to see me running towards that."

She simply wants to be "the best".

"And you can only be that if you beat the best. The best opponents are at 135lbs and 147lbs," she said. "The biggest fights are at 147.

"I don't know how much longer she [Mayer] wants to fight. I want to get that fight. I want to get that fight at 147, I want to get all the other champions at 147. Whoever's the biggest name at 147."
