Boxing: not the expected result for IBF lightweight champion Caroline Dubois

The first title defense of IBF lightweight champion Caroline Dubois did not go as planned on Saturday in Sheffield (England).

Due to an accidental head-to-head collision with rival Jessica Camara, Dubois had to settle for a technical draw.

The fight ended just two seconds into the third round, after a doctor ordered an end to hostilities. A cut above Camara’s left eye caused profuse bleeding.

Dubois, who now has a record of 10-0-1 (5 KOs) was dominant from the first bell, while Camara (14-4-1, 3 KOs) did not had no response to the numerous attacks from the title holder.

The fight is considered a draw, because the two pugilists had not completed four engagements.
