Dubois outpoints bloodied Harper to unify titles
"Terri had a good showing and showed why she is a very good boxer. From my side it was never personal; it was personal for Terri. I am a fighter and an entertainer. I put myself out there to show up for you guys, and talk the talk to be entertaining. That is why this fight was the most talked about."
"I felt like I started really well. Terri was very negative and we knew she was going to be. It was tricky to get her."
Caroline Dubois outpointed Terri Harper to become the unified lightweight world champion at London's Olympia. After a slow start, Dubois dropped Harper in the sixth round with a jab and left hook. Harper, despite suffering a cut from a head clash, continued to fight until the end. The judges scored the bout 98-91, 97-92, and 98-91 in favor of Dubois, who improved her record to 13 wins and one draw. The event marked a significant return of championship boxing to the historic venue.
