Caroline Dubois defended her WBC and WBO lightweight titles with a unanimous points win over American Amelia Moore in Birmingham, extending her unbeaten professional record and keeping alive prospects of a much-anticipated 2027 showdown with unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner. Dubois dominated throughout, dropping Moore in the fifth round, though she could not land a knockout blow against her determined but less experienced opponent. The result matters because it sets up a potential blockbuster clash between two of women's boxing's biggest names, with a public rivalry between the fighters already well underway.

Dubois won 99-90, 99-90 and 98-91 on the judges' scorecards to move to 15 professional fights unbeaten, with 14 wins, while Moore, in only her fifth pro bout, showed courage but lacked the experience to compete. After the fight, Dubois and the watching Baumgardner exchanged heated words, continuing a year-long rivalry, with any future meeting dependent on Baumgardner beating IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan in Texas on 8 November. Dubois has also parted ways with long-time trainer Shane McGuigan and moved to Los Angeles to work with Manny Robles, while elsewhere on the card Terri Harper scored a comprehensive second-round stoppage of Miranda Reyes after stepping up to welterweight.
