It’s January 2025. Caroline Dubois and Jessica Camara are standing just inches apart at their pre-fight press conference in Sheffield when a routine face-off turns into a storm.
Words fly, tempers flare, and Camara accuses Dubois of disrespecting her, calling her out in front of the cameras. Dubois stays composed, offering only one promise; she’ll answer in the ring.
And when fight night comes, she does exactly that. On her 24th birthday, Dubois wasted no time teaching her challenger a lesson she won’t forget.
A sharp left hand dropped Camara within moments of the opening round, and the British lightweight champion piled on the pressure with ruthless body shots and crisp combinations.
An accidental clash of heads splits Camara above the left eye, the blood streaming down as Dubois keeps landing powerful punches.
By the end of the second round, Camara’s right eye is swollen shut, the ringside doctor has seen enough. Before Dubois can finish her work, the fight is waved off and ruled a technical draw.
“The blood wasn’t coming in her face, she didn’t want it. It was either getting stopped by the doctor or I’m stopping it. I wish her well and hope she gets home safe,” Dubois said afterwards.
The result may not have gone down as a knockout, but the message was clear: when it comes to Caroline Dubois, any disrespect is settled the hard way.
A British professional boxer, Dubois, is one of the country’s top young talents.
She’s the younger sister of heavyweight fighter Daniel Dubois and grew up in London in a large family raised by their Grenadian father.
Caroline started boxing at nine and even trained disguised as a boy named “Colin” to get into top gyms.
As an amateur, she won the Youth Olympic gold in 2018 and became England’s first Women’s World Youth Champion.
Since turning professional, Dubois has remained unbeaten and now holds the WBC lightweight world title, known for her sharp southpaw style and relentless pressure in the ring.
