Shane McGuigan makes huge prediction over Caroline Dubois future

Caroline Dubois is just days away from stepping into the ring as a professional boxer for the first time.

On Saturday night, the highly-rated British fighter will make her pro debut against Lithuania's Vaida Masiokaite.

Dubois will be fighting on the undercard of the Chris Eubank Jr. vs Liam Williams grudge match in Cardiff on Saturday.

As the sister of Daniel Dubois, the pressure for Caroline to perform well inside the ring was placed on her shoulders right from the off. 

But after winning six junior titles — including the 2018 Youth Olympic gold — the youngest of the Dubois boxers has already made a name for herself.

Dubois made her senior Olympic debut in Tokyo last summer, where she reached the quarter-finals of the lightweight division. She dominated her first two opponents but was ultimately knocked out by Thailand's Sudaporn Seesondee after a close match.

Much like her compatriot and Olympic gold medalist Lauren Price, Dubois was unsure whether to hold out for another opportunity at Paris 2024, or turn professional.

Just weeks after returning from Tokyo, the 21-year-old signed with promotional team BOXXER and was set to make her debut in November, but was forced to withdraw due to illness.

Now, her debut fight is very much on and her trainer, Shane McGuigan has already set his expectations high for the British trailblazer. 

"I think we’ll probably be winning a world title after six or seven fights," he told GiveMeSport Women. "So the plan is to box at least five or six times in the first year and then figure out her ideal weight category."

Expanding on where he sees Dubois competing, McGuigan highlighted the lightweight division, which is where she competed at the Olympics.
