STANDING FIRM IN HER POWER

The boxing champion Caroline Dubois on her inspiration - and her dreams of achieving greatness

- 

Caroline Dubois is a woman on a mission. The 24-year-old British boxing champion has held the World Boxing Council's women’s lightweight world title since December 2024, and as she talks to HELLO! from her boxing gym, there's no doubt that this undefeated star has the determination to achieve her dream of becoming undisputed in three weight divisions, then retiring before the age of 30.

“That's the plan,” says the sportswoman, whose drive and ambition comes naturally. “I think I've always had it in me.”

The younger sister of the professional boxer and former heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, Caroline has boxing in her genes. The sports commentator Mike Costello called her “the best female boxer I have seen”.

A four-time European youth champion and Olympian, Caroline most recently defeated the formidable Bo Mi Re Shin at the Royal Albert Hall in March.

“It makes me feel like I want more,” she says of her success. “I want to be a multi-weight world champion, to be involved in the biggest fights in women's boxing. I want to achieve greatness.”
