Terry Harper and Caroline Dubois weigh in on title fight: “It’s not about the elbows, it’s about the fists!” | Boxing News

Caroline Dubois and Terry Harper stepped on the scales ahead of Sunday’s world championship unification bout.

They weighed in at Olympia in Kensington. The venue is a historic venue that will host the women’s world title fight, which was broadcast live on Sky Sports on Sunday.

After both men gained weight, Harper was slightly heavier at 134 pounds, 6 ounces to Dubois’ 134 pounds, 2 ounces, but they were able to escape after going virtually nose-to-nose in the final showdown.

The jibes exchanged between Dubois and Harper have become increasingly vicious as the fight for the WBC and WBO lightweight titles approaches. During the match, they pushed each other for position in front of the cameras, and clashes threatened to turn physical.

Dubois has previously bent his elbow in front of Harper’s face, and Harper does the same every time she poses for a photo.

But the psychological skirmishes before the match are over. The contest itself was just one night away. “It’s all about tomorrow. It’s all about the fist, not the elbow,” Harper said.

“It’s the weight I feel most comfortable at,” she added. “i am happy.

“I just told her I was looking forward to punching her in the face.”

Mr. Dubois is determined to back up her words. “Winning is most important, but I believe I will win by knockout,” she said. “I’ve grown, I’ve gotten bigger, I’ve gotten stronger, I can’t wait.

“We’re here now. We’ve finished the hardest part of making weight. We’re here, we’re ready, we’re ready to fight.”

If Ellie Scotney is able to unify Mayeli Flores’ WBA title with the IBF, WBC and WBO titles she already holds, she could become Britain’s youngest undisputed champion, male or female, in the four-belt era.

Scotney looked heavy, but broke into a big smile when he won the battle against the scales, weighing 121 pounds, 8 ounces.

Flores is a short but wide, strong and aggressive world champion. At 121 pounds, 2 ounces, she aims to make history for herself and become Mexico’s first female undisputed champion.

“That was my goal as soon as I came to London,” Flores said. “There’s no problem (with baggage allowance). I’ll leave my clothes here and bring a spare belt!”

“Ready to fight,” Scotney warned her. “We are more than ready.

“Every belt, every marble.”

Chantel Cameron and Mikaela Kotaskova will make boxing history for themselves at Olympia on Sunday. The two women will face off in the first women’s world title fight, which will be contested in three-minute rounds on British soil.

Cameron, a former undisputed super lightweight champion, will fight Kotaskova for the vacant WBO super welterweight title, aiming to become a two-division world titlist.

Cameron, who was competing in the division for the first time, was well under the weight limit at 148 pounds, 2 ounces, while Kotaskova wasn’t much heavier at 150 pounds, 1 ounce.

“I’ve been training hard in the gym for the three-minute round, and I’m feeling fired up, so it’s all paying off,” Cameron said. “Three-minute rounds suit me better.”

However, Kotaskova said: “It’s a big opportunity for me so I’m going to give it my all.”

I will do my best.

Emma Dolan (114 pounds, 4 ounces) will challenge for her first career world title against Mexican police officer, lawyer, and IBF super flyweight champion Irma Garcia (113 pounds, 8 ounces).

Dolan has already won Commonwealth and British titles and is set to open the TV show on Sunday.

“I’m just going to do what I do best and go in there and take over,” she declared. “I bring an exciting style, it’s going to be a great fight, stay tuned.”
