Natasha Jonas resumes her pursuit of a world title fight on Saturday’s BOXXER bill, but Caroline Dubois has been forced to delay her professional debut due to illness.
The Liverpudlian has joined BOXXER on a long-term promotional deal and will be added to a packed show, topped by Richard Riakporhe’s WBC ‘silver’ cruiserweight title fight against Olanrewaju Durodola at The SSE Arena, live on Sky Sports.
But Dubois will now launch her pro career on a future BOXXER event after she had to withdraw from her bout this weekend.
“I want to be challenging for world titles next year and next weekend’s fight is the first step on that journey,” said Jonas.
“I’m really happy to be signed to BOXXER and Sky Sports and make my first appearance so quickly.
