Dubois meets her domestic rival, Terri Harper<\/a>, in defence of the WBC\u2019s lightweight belt; it is a rare fight in the women\u2019s boxing<\/a> business, a clash with genuine rivalry between two boxers with proper experience,<\/a> and both holding world titles.<\/p>\n Harper has been in 10 world title fights at four weights in the last six years, and she enters Sunday\u2019s fight as the WBO lightweight champion. She has held world titles at super-featherweight and super-welterweight \u2013 two weights separated by 24lb \u2013 since giving up her job as a potato peeler in a local chippie. <\/p>\n Dubois is unbeaten in 13 fights, and she has set her sights on becoming undisputed at lightweight and then moving up through the weights \u2013 or waiting for a fight with the leading American, Alycia Baumgardner. Dubois is in an elite group chasing the elusive title of women\u2019s No 1, which is currently held by Katie Taylor, who is planning a farewell fight later this year in Dublin<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cShe is certainly a good talker,\u201d said Harper when the pair came face to face recently. <\/p>\n Last December, Dubois switched promoters and signed a deal with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the American company run by Jake Paul<\/a> and his business partner, Nakisa Bidarian<\/a>. The Sunday show at Olympia is MVP\u2019s first in Britain and marks Sky Sports\u2019s return to boxing in a valuable and necessary partnership. The Olympia card features eight female fights, four for world titles. <\/p>\n Harper and Dubois could be the start of a series of all-British fights, the type that the women\u2019s sport needs; genuine rivalries are essential. It should, in theory, be easier in women\u2019s boxing to make big fights happen, because so many of the boxers have been prepared to move across the weights with an ease that is lacking in the men\u2019s business. <\/p>\n Also on Sunday at Olympia, Chantelle Cameron<\/a>, who beat Taylor in 2023, moves up two weights to fight for the vacant WBO super-welterweight title. <\/p>\n She would, if the fight was available, move down for a sensible and lucrative domestic fight at a lower weight. Bidarian has made it clear in the past that being part of MVP doesn\u2019t exclude or protect a fighter from meeting other MVP boxers in risky fights. <\/p>\n Harper and Dubois are both part of the MVP business, and that has helped make the fight happen. It had been talked about for a couple of years, and too often in the modern boxing business there have been rivalries that never led to fights, due to separate rivalries between promoters and broadcasters. This has shifted slightly during the last two years with the increased involvement and influence of the Saudi Arabian boxing enterprise and their cash. <\/p>\n Enjoy 185+ fights a year on DAZN, the Global Home of Boxing<\/p>\n Never miss a fight from top promoters.
