Caroline Dubois taunts Terri Harper over ‘sad, scary place’ as pre-fight tension keeps rising

Caroline Dubois continued to taunt Terri Harper on Friday, as the tension around their grudge match kept rising at a pre-fight press conference. Dubois has sniped at Harper time and again over the past three months , and their verbal back-and-forth will give way to a title-unification clash on Sunday . At London’s Olympia, Dubois will defend her WBC lightweight belt against her British rival, who defends the WBO title in the main-event showdown.

The women-centric card includes three other world-title fights , too, featuring British talents Chantelle Cameron, Ellie Scotney and Emma Dolan. Harper, a three-weight champion, has been much-less loquacious than the unbeaten Dubois in the build-up, and the same was the case at Friday’s press conference, where Dubois repeatedly taunted the 29-year-old. Dubois, 25, initially pounced when Harper said: “Caroline just said herself, ‘talk is cheap’, and that’s all she’s done these last 12 weeks.

I’ve been fully focused on this job that I’ve got to do on Sunday night. You’ll see I’ve been quiet on my socials, whereas Caroline’s been arguing online, getting sucked into everything. ” Dubois responded: “Don’t project, Terri.

If that’s what would distract you, that’s fine. I’m an elite athlete. I’ve been doing this since I was 9 years old.
