Barry McGuigan names the female fighter who is flooring men in sparring
Barry McGuigan is eager to see Caroline Dubois step up in class and face Katie Taylor in what could be a career defining fight.
Dubois has looked excellent since turning professional in 2022 and she has blitzed her way through the rankings in an impressive manner.
The younger sister of current IBF heavyweight champion, Daniel Dubois, Caroline has emulated her brother by winning a world title, and McGuigan believes there is more to come.
Once a darling of British and Irish boxing, McGuigan is now watching his son, Shane, train some of the world’s best fighters as he has carved out a reputation for himself as one of the game’s shrewdest coaches.
The younger McGuigan has guided Dubois to this point and with the London star still only 24, time is on her side when it comes to adding to her legacy.
Barry is a huge admirer of her, and he has even revealed what he has seen from her inside the McGuigan gym when watching her spar.
“We can maybe talk to Katie about doing a catchweight and have all of the titles (on the line) with Katie’s belts at 140lbs and Caroline’s WBC lightweight title,” said McGuigan when speaking to Betway.
“That would have to be a discussion that we agree with the various different councils, but it is a fight I believe Caroline would have a tremendous chance of winning. She’s getting stronger and more confident, and she’s incredibly quick and explosive.
“She is one the best female fighters when it comes to power and can switch her lights off. We have seen Caroline dropping men in the gym so she can hit really hard. The guys in the gym go f—g hell, she can really hit.”
