Caroline Dubois joins Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua card — and defends WBC lightweight title

Caroline Dubois will defend her WBC lightweight world title on 19 December 2025 as part of the undercard for the high-profile Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua event in Miami. The undefeated British champion has also officially signed with Most Valuable Promotions, marking a significant step in her career.

Dubois, who has rapidly established herself as one of the brightest talents in women’s boxing, will face Italian challenger Camila Panatta in a scheduled 10-round contest. The bout will be her latest title defence following a strong run throughout 2024 and 2025.

The 24-year-old stated that joining her new promotional team represents a major opportunity to elevate her profile and push towards unifying the division. She described the move as a chance to become a leading figure in women’s boxing on the global stage.

Her addition to the card strengthens what is already one of the most talked-about events of the year. With both Dubois and Joshua competing on the same night, British interest in the Miami show is expected to be substantial.
