Alicia Baumgardner could be in line to fight Dubois
Alicia Baumgardner previously insisted that Dubois still had to prove himself before the American would agree to fight the unified lightweight world champion.
Dubois targeted Baumgardner and called for a high-profile clash, saying the clash “needs to happen sooner rather than later”.
“He’s lost now,” Dubois said. “He doesn’t have an opponent. He wanted to fight Katie Taylor but it’s not happening, he wanted to fight Amanda Serrano but it’s not happening, so who is he going to fight? Absolutely nobody.
“There’s no one who can step into the ring at my level. I say that with respect but I know I’m his biggest challenger.
“We’re going to build the fight. I want to be undisputed and then there’s no argument. All we can do is make that fight inevitable, undeniable and undeniable. It becomes undisputed by me.”

Mikaela Mayer’s got a little bit more level but then I wake up and think Chantel Cameron has been given an advantage to go home and she brings pressure on a beast.
“It’s a 50-50 fight. I know it’s going to be a great fight.”
‘Taylor is the GOAT’
Dubois said he would have loved to fight Irish icon Katie Taylor
Trainer Shane McGuigan has hinted at MVP’s interest in a blockbuster showdown with Irish boxing icon Katie Taylor, who is set to end her illustrious career by taking on the undefeated French fighter. Flora Pilley in Croke Park, Dublin on Saturday 5 September.
“Katie Taylor is the GOAT,” Dubois said. “She’s a champion and deserves to fight whoever she wants to fight. She sold 80,000 which is awesome. It doesn’t matter who’s in the corner. It’s about Katie Taylor. It’s not about the fight!
“He’s getting his moment to ride off into the sunset just the way he wants. I’ll support him. Who he’s fought and who he’s been in the ring with over the years, and nobody can deny his toughness.

“I would 100 percent back myself (if I had the chance to fight him) and it was a great fight. I would have loved to fight him straight out of the 2012 Olympics.
