Unbeaten lightweight Caroline Dubois will continue her charge towards a world-title shot by taking on Jessica Camara in Sheffield on 11 January.

Dubois, who has won all 10 pro fights, will face the Canadian former world-title challenger at the Canon Medical Arena.

The 23-year-old Londoner is targeting Doncaster’s WBO champion Terri Harper and has also previously called out Irish superstar Katie Taylor, who holds the WBA and WBC belts.

“Caroline has a big future ahead of her. She has her sights set on world titles and unifications but will need to be at her best to overcome an experienced, world-level operator,” said Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom.

Camara has won 14 fights and lost four, including a defeat to WBO light-welterweight champion Kali Reis in 2021.

In the main event, unbeaten super-middleweight Callum Simpson will make a first defence of his British and Commonwealth title against Steed Woodall.

The 28-year-old, who is unbeaten in 15 bouts, won the title in August at the home of his beloved Barnsley Football Club’s Oakwell Stadium by outpointing Zak Chelli.

“Yorkshire has such a proud boxing history,” added Simpson. “I want to do the county proud and add to that.”
