We sat down with Caroline Dubois to talk all things boxing...
Who are your favourite boxers of all time, perhaps inspiring you to start boxing?
I started boxing because my brother (Daniel Dubois) did boxing and so I was always very interested in it. There was always a massive buzz around the house whenever my brother was fighting, my dad would bring round the fight video and everyone would watch it. I suppose I just fell into it.
What has been your favourite fight of your career so far?
My favourite fight was in the all-female show at the O2 Arena. Bob Arum had said earlier in the year that a female headliner wouldn't sell out, let alone a full so, so when we sold out the O2 it was a real statement. I also think I performed well on the night.
What would you say are your best attributes in boxing?
I have realised that my biggest strength is my mental strength. I like to use my will to break others in the ring.
What are your ultimate goals in boxing?
My dream in boxing is to become a multi-weight world champion, and to be remembered as a boxing great irrespective of gender.
