    Caroline Dubois is looking to become undisputed champion of the world by the end of the year.

    The other lightweight world champions include Doncaster's WBO lightweight champion Terri Harper and Brazilian IBF champion Beatriz Ferreira.

    "I want to be undisputed by the end of the year and I’m going to be in some hard fights. Beatriz Ferreira, Terri Harper, whoever has the remaining belts. I need to be beating these girls if I believe I’m going to be undisputed. To be the best you have to beat the best," Dubois told the 5 Live Boxing with Bunce podcast.

    "I want to be having the respect where people will look and say Caroline Dubois wasn’t just a great female boxer but a great boxer."

    What a night for women’s boxing…and what a venue.

    The atmosphere's really starting to build here. It should be bouncing by the time we reach the main event.

    Jonas v Price. England v Wales. Let's hope it lives up to the hype.

    The Royal Albert Hall is the venue for tonight's historic event
  4. And new!published at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Artingstall beats Chapman by unanimous decision

    Artingstall made that look really easy and the judges agree.

    She wins by unanimous decision: 97-92, 98-91 and 96-93.

    Artingstall wins the inaugural women's British featherweight title.

  5. Round tenpublished at 21:22 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Artingstall v Chapman

    Chapman has to empty the tank in the final round, that's the message her corner has just delivered.

    There's no sign of Chapman following through with that plan, though, or maybe she's just unable to crack the code.

    Artingstall continues to work that stiff jab. She's been so slick on her feet too.

    This should be a unanimous win for Artingstall.

  6. 'Never let success get to your head'published at 21:21 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Dubois v Shin

    Our first world title fight of the night isn't too far away with Caroline Dubois set to defend her WBC lightweight belt against Bo Mi Re Shin in the co-main event.

    Dubois is yet to lose in 11 professional fights, winning 10 and drawing one.

    That solitary draw came in her last bout when making the first defence of her title against Jessica Camara and the bout was stopped due to a clash of heads.

    "We're going to let our fists do the talking. These are my belts and this is the closest she [Shin] is going to get to them," Dubois said.

    "I feel like a champ, I've always been a champ but when you get the belts it just cements it.

    "I was there when my brother [Daniel Dubois] was on top of the world, the best thing since sliced bread, and then he got beat by [Joe] Joyce and they disappeared so I understand how harsh, cold and cruel the boxing world can be.

    "Never let success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart."

  7. Round eightpublished at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Artingstall v Chapman

    Artingstall continues to enjoy the majority of the success but Chapman finds a way to close the distance and sneaks a lovely uppercut through the middle.

    Another couple of rounds in the bag for Artingstall.

    Chapman needs a knockout to avoid slipping to a second successive defeat.

    The acoustics in here are unreal, and the music in-between rounds hits different.

    The Royal Albert Hall upgraded its sound system in 2019 at a cost of £2m.

    These fibreglass 'mushrooms' hanging from the ceiling were installed to fix an echo caused by the domed roof.

    Might get one installed in my gaff, maybe it will help quieten down the kids.

    Artingstall v Chapman

    Karriss' power comes so well from the range. She's pushing Raven back at times now, the momentum is heavily with her.

  10. Round sixpublished at 21:12 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Artingstall v Chapman

    Chapman leans over her front foot and reaches for shots but Artingstall reads well and takes a half step back out of range.

    Artingstall is so good behind the jab, she keeps forcing it into the chin of Chapman. It looks like it really stings.

    We're over the halfway point now and Artingstall is on track to become the inaugural British women's featherweight champion.

  11. Born to Brawl - Cindy Ngambapublished at 21:10 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Jonas v Price

    Cindy Ngamba was due to make her professional debut on tonight's card but she had to withdraw on Thursday due to medical grounds.

    That isn't going to stop us throwing this latest episode of Born to Brawl episode in your direction... a lot of effort went into putting this together!

  12. 'Cool, calm and collected'published at 21:07 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Jonas v Price

    It's a good job that Lauren Price is "cool, calm and collected" because Joe Gallagher, who trains Natasha Jonas has been trying his best to get under her skin over the past couple of days.

    On Wednesday, Gallagher told Price she was "bang out of order" for missing a scheduled face-off with Jonas on Tuesday and he went on to call the WBA welterweight champion "disrespectful".

    On Thursday, Gallagher interjected as ring announcer Big Mo was calling Price to the stage for her weigh-in, suggesting that the scales had not been calibrated correctly.

    Olympic gold medallist Price has taken it all in her stride.

    "The outside noise is irrelevant. We just wait for that bell to go and the best woman will win," Price said.

    "I've had a good camp and I've stayed cool, calm and collected. It's about taking instruction but I believe in myself.

    "It's a great fight and I'm proud to be part of it. I'm in a great place mentally and physically."

  13. 'Best woman will win'published at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Natasha Jonas might be just three months shy from turning 41 but she is in the prime of her career as she prepares to face British rival Lauren Price.

    Jonas has been a leading figure in women's boxing for over a decade and was the first female British boxer to fight at an Olympics when she featured at London 2012.

    After coming up short in successive world title fights, drawing with Terri Harper and losing against Katie Taylor, Jonas could be excused for thinking she would never reach the pinnacle of the sport.

    But she has won seven successive fights since that loss to Taylor and become a two-weight world champion along the way.

    "It's just me versus Lauren and the best woman will win," said Jonas.

    "A win for Lauren means I'm the best name on her record, but that's not the same for me."

  14. Round fourpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Artingstall v Chapman

    After a close opening round, Artingstall is starting to pull away, with that knockdown in the second putting her firmly in the driving seat.

    Artingstall has found her rhythm and is boxing smartly from range.

    Chapman lands a left but it lacks power as Artingstall tries to step away.

    Jonas v Price

    This fight week started a day early due to fight night being on Friday rather than Saturday but I'm not certain Steve Bunce got the memo.

    The first episode was released on Thursday with appearances from Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom, main eventers Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price and WBC lightweight champion Caroline Dubois.

    I expected no less, but this really is quite a breathtaking venue. There isn't a bad seat in the house. I am told the capacity is 5,200, although 500 odd seats are for patrons of the Royal Albert Hall so I presume a number of those may not attend.

    The written media are situated in 'Choir East' stand. I'm tempted to belt out a number. Any suggestions?
