Caroline Dubois (1/20) v Magali Rodriguez (10/1) Tips

In the main event on the BOXXER card in London this weekend we see the return of Caroline Dubois, as she takes on Magali Rodriguez with the IBO lightweight world title on the line.

I've said it before, not only is she one of the brightest prospects in women's boxing but she is one of the most exciting prospects in all of boxing.

We saw Caroline go the full 10 rounds for the first time in her career during the summer, and she was a little bit upset about that, given she is known as a devastating puncher in the female code.

She will be desperate to get back to getting those stoppages and I expect her to do just that this weekend, so I will be backing her to do so via a 'KO, TKO or Disqualification' at 10/11.

I think that is a very good price, but I also like the look of Caroline Dubois to win this fight in 'Under 8.5 Rounds', which you can get at 6/4.

She is just going to be too fast, too sharp and ultimately too powerful for Magali Rodriguez, who has previously fought at far lower weights, to handle.

Tebbutt's Tip

Caroline Dubois is approaching the peak of her powers and on the verge of the very best and biggest names in women's boxing, so I will be backing her to beat Magali Rodriguez by 'KO, TKO or Disqualification' at 10/11 on Saturday night.

bet365 Wildcard
Callum Simpson (1/16) v Jose De Jesus Macias (9/1) Tips

The bet365 Wildcard fight of the night will see Callum Simpson take on Jose De Jesus Macias - a rugged, tough and battle-hardened Mexican.

I'm expecting Callum Simpson to get some rounds under his belt this weekend, having barely put a foot wrong since turning professional, scoring a lot of early stoppages and looking extremely good in doing so.

I do expect Macias to show that tough, gritty style that will make him difficult to pin down - he has only been stopped once in 12 defeats and people may look at his record and think that this is going to be an easy fight for the British fighter, but I don't expect it to be so.

Macias almost scored a savage seventh round stoppage against an unbeaten fighter last time out and I do expect him to cause Callum Simpson some problems at York Hall.

That said, I am expecting Simpson to win this fight, but via a Decision, which you can get at 11/10 - so slightly better than even-money.
