Elif Nur Turhan blasting her way through females, Is Caroline Dubois in trouble?

She's a breath of fresh air.
Makes WB exciting for a change.
AND I think she's a big step on the way to it being good at last. I mean, obviously she is crap and wild and "can be outboxed" etc, but then so are big punchers in the mens (Wilder). She's the first woman where I've thought, "I really wanna see her next fight, cos I might see a brutal KO!" None of us have ever thought that about a woman before.
I hope she makes a lot of money..

She definitely brings excitement and knockout power. Do you think she can stay entertaining once opponents start preparing specifically for her style?

She better start improving her own style. She needs more than just a right hand. Not much more, but they need to work on her jab, and ability cut the ring off on opponents and sh*t.

If they can just approve her jab, and foot movement it would make her twice as effective of a fighter. Her right hand is already a hell of a punch, but it's just about all she's got.

Yes, it is definitely necessary to improve. I think they will start working on it, since the coach and she know it for sure.

No improvement whatsoever from her previous fight to this most recent one I noticed. They need to keep working on it.

Again, she was almost robbed.

Granted she doesn't help herself but there was Mora and co, going on about Tellez. Them saying Tellez may have won that fight or that at worst it was a draw, was really poor. Ref was pretty biased and there were 2 KD's not given but hey ho.

Turhan needs to level up as the competition will get stiffer. I'd still take her over the other lightweights but it will be harder.

Dubois: 'Joker' Turhan priced herself out of unification fight

Caroline Dubois has branded IBF lightweight champion Elif Nur Turhan a "joker” for apparently pricing herself out of an anticipated unification bout.

In April, Dubois comfortably beat Terri Harper to add the WBO and Ring titles to her own WBC belt, and she is fixated on becoming the undisputed 135-pound champion.

A fight between the surgically precise Dubois (13-0-1, 5 KOs) and the wild, unpredictable but extremely heavy-handed Turhan (14-0, 8 KOs) would attract plenty of attention but, for now, the two appear to be some distance away from coming to any kind of agreement.

Instead of preparing for a major unification fight, Dubois, 25, is getting ready to make a defense of her WBO and WBC titles against America’s inexperienced Amelia Moore (4-0, 1 KO). That fight will take place on an MVP show at BP Pulse Arena in Birmingham, England, on August 29.

"The amount that she asked for wasn't even a laugh out of the room. It was just something we ignored that because it was just so ridiculous,” Dubois told Sky Sports.

“She isn't about it. She thinks that she is something that she isn't and I'm really disappointed in her and how she's moving because it's all good to talk online. She asked for the most ridiculous number that you would, even if I told you, would think I'm lying.

"So she just isn't about it. She's a joker and what you do with jokers? You just leave them alone.
"That's retirement money. That's that never-fight-again type of money.”

Should she get past Moore, Dubois will turn her attention to a securing a unification fight with WBA lightweight champion Stephanie Han (13-0, 3 KOs).

In May, Dubois made the trip to Texas to watch the American box her way to a close, majority win over Holly Holm.

After the fight, Dubois sought out Han and the two came to an unofficial agreement on a future matchup.

After meeting the 35-year-old and looking her in the eye, Dubois is confident that when the time comes to talk money, Han won’t come up with an exorbitant figure.

"With Stephanie, I guess she recently just fought and it was great because I was able to be there. I shook her hand afterwards and we pretty much agreed to the fight and I hold her to that," she said.

"I believe her. I believe that she will not be trying to avoid that fight and we shook and hopefully we can make that fight happen next because she's about it and I like that energy about her. So I'm going to hold her to a promise and after this defense. I will definitely be going after Stephanie Han.”

Smart management from Turhan's side I'd think. She needs to work on her game before fighting the girls at the top, but in the meantime she's an attraction because of how she fights, so let her keep fighting and improving before taking on the big matchups.

Caroline Dubois could face Elif Nur Turhan after rival lightweight world champion signed for Most Valuable Promotions

Turkish world champion Elif Nur Turhan has signed with Jake Paul and Nikisa Bidarian's Most Valuable Promotions; Caroline Dubois had expressed frustration after being unable to agree terms for a Turhan fight; the Brit could now face Turhan in a WBC, WBO and IBF lightweight title fight

Caroline Dubois could settle her rivalry with Elif Nur Turhan after the Turkish world champion signed for Most Valuable Promotions.

Dubois, who is also signed to MVP, had previously expressed her frustration after being unable to agree a world lightweight unification fight with Turhan, but those negotiations could get simpler now both fighters are aligned in Jake Paul and Nikisa Bidarian's promotional company.

The unbeaten British champion will defend her WBC and WBO lightweight belts against American Amelia Moore on the Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron bill at the bp pulse LIVE arena in Birmingham on August 29, live on Sky Sports, where every fight on the main card will be a UK vs USA contest.

Turhan, who is also undefeated in 14 fights, secured the IBF world lightweight title after a stunning stoppage of Beatriz Ferreira and has since retained her title in victories against Gabriella Tellez and Taylah Gentzen.

"Elif Nur Turhan is an undefeated world champion, a tremendous puncher, and now the first Turkish fighter to join the MVP roster," said MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.

"The Golden Turkish Warrior is one of the most exciting fighters in boxing given her immense punching power and her relentless aggressive, pressure heavy style.

"Signing Elif will allow us to make some of the most exciting fights in boxing. We look forward to welcoming Elif to MVP and giving her the platform to become one of the biggest stars in women's boxing as we continue building MVPW into the premier global home for the sport."
