Caroline Dubois secures victory against Camilla Panatta in Miami
Caroline Dubois delivered a solid performance to secure a points victory over Camilla Panatta at the Kaseya Center in Miami, winning with a unanimous decision as all three judges scored the contest 99-90 in her favor, reports BritPanorama.
This match marked Dubois’ first bout in America, where she competed under considerable expectations, being the younger sister of heavyweight boxer Daniel Dubois. Despite her success, she reflected critically on her performance, stating, “I feel like I could have done more.” She emphasized that she had hoped to showcase a stronger display, particularly given the unique environment of fighting on American soil.
Dubois expressed gratitude to the fans in attendance, noting their support during the event held just before the Christmas period. “I’d just like to thank everyone watching at home and in the arena who paid their hard-earned money,” she added, acknowledging the significance of the occasion.
Looking ahead, the 24-year-old boxer has been linked to a potential fight with unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner. However, when questioned about this prospect, Dubois remained noncommittal, suggesting that while it might be a possibility for the future, her immediate focus was elsewhere.
Her victory set the stage for the main event, where Anthony Joshua is expected to face Jake Paul in a highly anticipated clash. Despite being absent from the ring since September 2024, Joshua enters the fight as the favourite, aiming to dismiss doubts about his prowess following a period of criticism.
As the sport continues to evolve, the juxtaposition of traditional boxers and social media stars like Paul serves as a reminder of how even established champions must adapt to shifting dynamics within the boxing world. In this landscape, Dubois’ journey signals both a personal ambition and a broader narrative about the future of the sport.
