Caroline Dubois will defend her WBC lightweight title against contender Bo Mi Re Shin on Friday, March 7 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, on a card presented by BOXXER and broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK.
Dubois’ world title defence will be part of a card headlined by the welterweight world title unification between Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price, in a historic event that will feature only women’s bouts.
Dubois captured the interim WBC world title with a clear unanimous victory over Maira Moneo in Barnsley in August. The Tokyo 2020 Olympian was then promoted to WBC world champion when Irish super lightweight champion Katie Taylor opted to compete at 140 pounds.
Like Dubois, South Korea’s Bo Mi Re Shin is known for her all-action style. The 30-year-old, originally from Seoul, has 10 knockouts in her 18 wins. She is a former WBC international champion and is currently ranked No. 1 in the world. She is undefeated in her last three bouts following a split decision loss to former world champion Delfine Persoon.
Rounding out this huge card, Britain’s Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price will square off in a huge world title unification fight.
Jonas will arrive as the WBC and IBF welterweight world champion after defeating Ivana Habazin at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre last December.
Lauren Price comes into this fight after knocking out Bexcy Mateus to defend her WBA crown.
