Get ready for a seismic shift in women's boxing! Undefeated WBC lightweight champion Caroline Dubois is joining forces with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), and her debut fight is just around the corner on December 19th in Miami. But here's where it gets even more exciting: Dubois will be part of the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua undercard, defending her title against Italy's Camila Panatta in a 10-round bout.
This move marks a significant step in Dubois’s already impressive career. At just 24, the British sensation has already achieved what many fighters dream of. With an unblemished record of 11-0-1, including 5 knockouts, Dubois isn’t just here to compete—she’s here to dominate. “Signing with MVP is the next step in my career,” Dubois stated. “I’m proud to be part of their roster, and I believe they’ll help me on my Quest for Greatness. My mission is clear: to become the face of women’s boxing. Winning—and winning in style—on the biggest stage is my dream and my driving force.”
And this is the part most people miss: Dubois isn’t just another champion; she’s part of a boxing legacy. As the younger sister of former IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, she’s no stranger to the spotlight. Her professional debut in 2022 quickly led to her winning the interim WBC lightweight title in her 10th fight against Maira Moneo. She was elevated to full champion in December 2024 after Katie Taylor vacated the title. Since then, Dubois has battled to a technical draw against Jessica Camara and secured a majority decision win over Bo Mi Re Shin.
MVP cofounders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian couldn’t be more thrilled. “Caroline Dubois has been the most coveted free agent in women’s boxing, and we’re ecstatic to welcome her to MVP,” they said. “She’s a champion, an Olympian, and a rising star not just in the UK but globally.” Dubois joins an impressive roster of UK fighters at MVP, including Savannah Marshall, Ellie Scotney, and Chantelle Cameron, further solidifying the promotion’s commitment to elevating women’s boxing.
But here’s the controversial part: While traditional boxing promoters often focus on belt disputes, MVP is taking a different approach. “Our focus on women’s boxing is about creating a global brand with the largest roster of elite fighters, delivering a product that showcases the best athletes in the sport,” Bidarian and Paul explained. “Adding an undefeated world champion of Caroline’s caliber is a key piece of that vision.”
MVP plans to host an event in the UK in early 2026, providing Dubois with another platform to continue her rise. But the question remains: Can MVP truly revolutionize women’s boxing, or is this just another promotional strategy? And how will Dubois fare against the tough competition ahead?
