This weekend, Caroline Dubois and Terri Harper will settle their grudge after a frosty build-up to their title-unification clash.
At London’s Olympia, the unbeaten Dubois will put her WBC lightweight belt on the line, while fellow Briton Harper defends the WBO title. It will be the headline fight on a card where eight of the 10 bouts are women’s contests – four of them for world titles.

The undercard sees Ellie Scotney in a title-unification fight of her own, while rising star Emma Dolan is also in action in a championship bout, as is Chantelle Cameron – the only boxer to have beaten the legendary Katie Taylor.
This all follows Lauren Price’s defence of her unified welterweight belts on Saturday, as the Welsh star faces Stephanie Pineiro. Still, most of the focus is on Sunday’s card, organised by Jake Paul’s company Most Valuable Promotions, which has signed a great number of women’s fighters in recent months.
