Summary

  1. Round fourpublished at 21:53 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Dubois v Shin

    Dubois lands a beauty of a right hook on the head of Shin, rocking her slightly. Shin looks a little lost for ideas as she still comes forward but isn't landing anything to deter Dubois.

    Dubois is really starting to turn it on now and lands another heavy blow on Shin, rocking her once again.

    I think Shin did a little better that round. I was quite impressed with how she adapted, but it's still a clear round to Caroline.

    Great round for Dubois who really found her range in the third. Those thudding body shots seem to be troubling Shin a little.

  4. Round threepublished at 21:50 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Dubois v Shin

    Looks as though Dubois is figuring out Shin now as she manoeuvres well around the ring, looking for a way through Shin's defence. Dubois' left hand is really landing well and often but Shin is standing firm.

    Defend yourself at all times! Shin dropped her hands to complain, and Caroline took advantage like she should have.

  6. Round twopublished at 21:48 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Dubois v Shin

    Dubois lands a hard straight right to the body but Shin comes back with a right of her own to the head. Shin is fighting well on the outside, perhaps fearful of the power Dubois possesses.

    Dubois is looking to go to the body and is landing some heavy blows. Shin complains to the referee late on and stands with her hands out but Dubois takes the opportunity to throw punches.

    Protect yourself at all times!

    I feel like it is a matter of time before Dubois catches Shin. Shin is manoeuvring on the outside, and she's not a fighter that normally does this.

    I've been reliably informed that comedian/TV presenter/actor/podcaster Romesh Ranganathan is in the building. Surprised he's not ring announcing tonight, he fronts every other show.

    We also have Natasha Jonas' sister and England footballer Nikita Paris, Fred Sirieix of First Dates fame, documentary presenter Stacey Dooley and social media star GK Barry.

    Dubois v Shin

    Shin is dipping in and out with her head while trying to time the jab to perfection. She connects but Dubois fires back with a huge overhand right attempt that just misses. Dubois shows flashes but she hasn't found her range just yet.

    Decent first round!

  13. Dubois still needs a testpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Caroline Dubois could well be the future of the sport for years to come.

    For all her talent and promise, though, she still need a big name on her record. We haven't really seen her tested. I don't know how much of a threat the relatively unknown Bo Mi Re Shin will be tonight.

    Dubois v Shin

    Before we get started, here's a reminder of the best lightweights out there right now.

    Caroline Dubois sits at number one in the lightweight division but is yet to fight any of the women sitting in the three places below her on our graphic.

    After she attempted to call out Terri Harper on social media, is that a fight we will see in the future?

    Artingstall beats Chapman by unanimous decision

    Speaking to Sky Sports after her win, Karriss Artingstall said: "I'm just proud of myself for getting back in the ring if I'm honest. Last year was a hard one, I just mentally wasn't there within myself when I was in the ring.

    "I'm just proud of myself for getting in there, never mind beating a top class operator like Raven, getting about and doing my first ten rounder. There's things to work on of course, but I'm just mega proud.

    "I'd love to go back and speak to my team to see what they think is next. I believe Nina Meinke has got a world title, I believe if I can get that off her then it makes for a perfect fight against Skye Nicolson. I'd love to get that fight at the end of the year. I think if I get a world title off Meinke, why shouldn't that happen? It would be a cracking fight, give her a chance at getting revenge from the Olympics."

  19. 'How audacious'published at 21:32 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    It's been fascinating to watch Caroline Dubois emerge from a shy amateur blinded by the lights of pro boxing, to one of the most confident and outspoken female boxers in the country.

    She has been on one this week. She gave an impassioned response to Bo Mi Re Shin saying she could dethrone the Londoner.

    "How audacious!", Dubois said repeatedly.

    WBC lightweight champion Caroline Dubois might not be the headline act this week but she has been doing her best to grab the spotlight.

    Dubois had plenty to say during Wednesday's news conference as South Korean opponent Bo Mi Re Shi, spoke briefly through a translator and promised to be aggressive in her world-title challenge.

    Briton Dubois is certainly not short on confidence and has high hopes to maintain her rapid ascent up the ranks by the end of the year.

    "Every time I step in the ring, I don't know if it's arrogance or confidence but it's an audacity to think she [Shin] can beat me," Dubois said.

    "I don't know where she's going that from. I don't know who's filling her head and where she thinks has over me. It's audacious to think she can get in the ring and beat me. Because she ain't better than me.

    "Nothing. I step in the ring and believe I can beat this girl. These belts are mine and for her to think she's coming here to take them, she has another thing coming.

    "I will be undisputed world champion by the end of the this year."
