Lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois has signed a promotional deal with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), leaving Boxxer to join the rapidly growing roster of female boxing talent under MVP. The 24-year-old Briton will defend her WBC lightweight world title against Camila Panatta on the undercard of Paul’s high-profile fight against Anthony Joshua in Miami on 19 December 2025.
Dubois: The Rising Star of Women’s Boxing
Caroline Dubois is currently undefeated in 12 professional fights, with 11 wins and one draw, and has scored five stoppages. Dubois has twice defended her WBC title since becoming champion in 2024 but has struggled to secure unification bouts with other world champions:
- Terri Harper (WBO) – Briton
- Stephanie Han (WBA) – USA
- Elif Nur Turhan (IBF) – Turkey
Dubois, whose brother Daniel Dubois is a former heavyweight world champion, stated that joining MVP is the next step in her career:
“Signing with MVP is the next step in my career. I’m proud to be under their roster, and I believe they will be able to help me on my quest for greatness. The mission must be to become the face of women’s boxing.”
MVP’s Female Boxing Expansion
MVP has signed several world champions this year, including Ellie Scotney and Alycia Baumgardner, demonstrating a growing commitment to female boxing. Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, confirmed that Dubois will fight next week in Miami and is also scheduled for action in the UK in early 2026.
“Dubois has been the most coveted free agent in women’s boxing,” said MVP co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian.
