Caroline Dubois wins as brother Daniel Dubois watches on

Caroline Dubois began her professional boxing career with a win over veteran Vaida Masiokaite on Saturday night.

The sister of heavyweight Daniel Dubois fought professionally for the first time at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Williams and impressed by landing clean shots to her opponent.

However, the 21-year-old could not knockout the stubborn Lithuanian and won 60-54 over six rounds.

Dubois has been fighting since the age of nine and in her amateur career, she became the European Youth champion four times and won gold at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games.   

In front of a packed Motorpoint Arena, the 21-year-old got the British crowd on her side from the start after she picked Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' as her entrance music. 

'It was amazing, to be honest. The crowd was amazing. It was a good atmosphere to be apart of and good to get it out of the way,' Dubois said after the fight.

'It felt amazing. I saw my dad waving, my brother. It felt good.

'I felt the nerves a little bit. I feel like I rushed my work a little bit. If I had just stepped back and boxed like I know I can I would have been better I reckon.'  

BOXXER promoter Ben Shalom said that she could have an impact on women's boxing over the next 10 years.  

'There was huge competition to sign her. There's a presence about her, there's something special,' he said.

'We get excited because we know what she can do for women's boxing over the next 10 years.'
