(APR 6) Following her victory over Terri Harper on April 5, 2026, Caroline Dubois didn't hold back when discussing a potential unification bout with Alycia Baumgardner. While respect was hard to find in the post-fight presser, the competitive fire between the two is clearly at an all-time high.

Dubois Makes Her Case

Caroline Dubois was vocal about her desire to face Baumgardner, though her critique was pointed. She raised concerns regarding Baumgardner's past drug testing controversy, suggesting that those issues have cast a shadow over Baumgardner's recent performances. Dubois categorized her rival’s standing in the division as questionable, stating, "She knows the situation... she hasn't looked the same lately."

Dubois is eager to get the fight signed quickly, noting, "That’s the fight I want by the end of the year; there’s no need to waste time." She even took to social media to bridge the gap: "Let’s stop the talk—we need this fight. Let's make it happen!" As for a prediction? Dubois expects a definitive, "brutal" finish.

Baumgardner’s Counter-Punch

Alycia Baumgardner was quick to dismiss the challenger’s performance, viewing the recent win as less than impressive. During a live reaction, Baumgardner was seen mocking the bout, at one point calling the matchup a "joke" and using wordplay on Dubois’s name to dismiss her standing.

Baumgardner sent a direct warning via social media, telling Dubois she wasn't on her level yet. "Don’t even mention my name," Baumgardner posted, suggesting that Dubois is still "way down the line" compared to the "proven names" Baumgardner is targeting, such as Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor.

WBAN will keep boxing fans updated on this possible Grudge Match and feel it would be a very interesting matchup.
