Caroline Dubois vs. Maira Moneo - Main card, start time, main event walkouts, and more
The highly anticipated showdown between Caroline Dubois and Maira Moneo is scheduled for this weekend at Oakwell Stadium in Barnsley, United Kingdom. Moneo is preparing to defend her interim WBC lightweight title, while Dubois is set to uphold her lineal IBO status in a 12-round co-main event clash.
The winner of this bout will move one step closer to challenging for the WBC world lightweight title, currently held by two-weight undisputed champion Katie Taylor. 'The Bray Bomber' is slated to face Amanda Serrano in a rematch on the undercard of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Nov. 15.
'Sweet Caroline' has enjoyed a flawless beginning to her 9-0 professional career, already boasting titles as a Youth Olympic, World Youth, and four-time European Youth champion during her amateur days. Dubois' undefeated streak includes a decisive unanimous decision victory over Magali Rodriguez to secure the IBO title in September 2023, followed by a successful defense of the belt against Miranda Reyes this past February.
Meanwhile, Moneo boasts a professional record of 14-1, with her sole defeat resulting from a disqualification due to an accidental head clash with Yanina del Carmen Lescano in February 2020. 'La Panterita' previously claimed the WBA interim lightweight title and secured a notable victory over multi-division world champion Erica Anabella Farias in December 2022.
