Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper – gigantic fight preview and predictions
The main event on Sunday in London will be the unification of the world title when Terri Harper and Caroline Dubois face off at Olympia.
Both Dubois and Harper bring lightweight world titles to the competition, with each fighter looking to leave as the unified champion.
Dubois (12-0-1, 5 KO) will enter Sunday undefeated, and only one fight did not end in a victory for “Sweet Caroline”.
There was a draw with Jessica Camara after the referee was forced to stop the fight early due to an accidental cut to her opponent’s left eye.
Since then, the 25-year-old has recorded two decision victories, starting with a win over Bo Mi Re Shin.
The last time she took part in the action was in December on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua, making his US debut.
Dubois dominated for 10 rounds, with all three judges scoring the fight 99-90.
Her opponent, Terri Harper, is Dubois’ toughest test ever.
She currently holds the WBO lightweight crown after defeating Rhiannon Dixon in 10 rounds.
Harper (16-2-2, 6 KO) last appeared as a main character at her home stadium in Doncaster, where she defeated Natalie Zimmerman by unanimous decision.
Ellie Scotney vs. Mayelli Flores Rosquero
Undefeated Catford champion Ellie Scotney returns in the co-main event.
Scotney (11-0) currently holds three super bantamweight belts – IBF, WBC and WBO.
The 28-year-old has publicly stated that she wants to become undisputed by the end of the year.
The last time she defeated Yamileth Mercado in 10 rounds was on the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano card.
Scotney will face Mexican Rosquero (13-1-1, 4 KO), who will enter the fight after an impressive series of five victories. She retained Maricruz Gomez in November 2024.

Cameron argues with Kotaskova
Another world title is on the line as Chantelle Cameron moves up to super welterweight and fights for the vacant WBO title.
He will face Michaela Kotaskova. The Czech is undefeated in 13 fights and drew in her second and fourth professional appearances.
Cameron (21-1, 8 KO) has much more experience on the world stage, having fought against such tough opponents as Katie Taylor throughout his career.
Undercard remaining
Emma Dolan (8-0, 1 KO) returns to action and will face former world champion Irma Garcia (25-5-1, 5 KO) for the IBF super flyweight world title.
She enters the fight undefeated and fights for the world title for the first time in her career.

Undercard remaining
Chloe Watson has a tough test in Teresa Makinen (5-0), who is undefeated in five fights.
The Briton stopped Klaudia Ferenczi in the second round of her last fight, bouncing back after successive defeats.

Watson (9-2, 1 KO) has fought at a higher level thus far and should secure an eight-round decision victory.
Shannon Courtenay (10-3, 3 KO) fought in December at open training sessions for Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua and did not make any mistakes in the fight against Jessica Maltez.
She should win in style against Sasha Booker (3-1) in her first eight-round fight in over three years.
Elizabeth Oshoba should extend her unbeaten streak and perhaps stop Chelsey Arnell, and Gemma Richardson should get a third victory over Johana Rajmont.
Both Harvey Smith (6-1, 1 KO) and Arjon Basi (2-0) should have enough strength to stop their opponents before opening the gala in London.

Jarred Anderson’s return to the ring against Solomon Dacres was canceled just days later.
Dacres and Anderson were scheduled to face on May 9 in Fabio Wardley’s first world title defense against Daniel Dubois.
It looks like “Massive Baby” will continue to gain momentum after suffering his first career loss in 2024.
After a great start to his professional career and 17 impressive victories, Anderson took a gigantic risk in his fight against Martin Bakole in Los Angeles.
This acceleration did not go as planned, as Bakole stopped the American in the fifth round.
The American was forced to withdraw from competition for several weeks after suffering an injury during camp.
Anderson reportedly suffered a torn biceps, and the news was first broken by reporter Chris Mannix during the broadcast of Jarrell Miller’s win over Lenier Pero in Las Vegas.
Anderson, 26, recently signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, strengthening his existing relationship with Top Rank that he has been pursuing since his professional debut in 2019.
He last fought in a 10-round victory over Marios Kollias in February 2025, more than 14 months ago.
For now, no further information has been provided regarding a possible postponement of the fight.
For Dacres, it would be his first fight since his impressive decision victory over Vladyslav Sirenko.
Both Dacres and Anderson have only one loss to their name, and the fight between them will prove to be a great indicator of where each is at in their careers.
Dacres’ only loss came in the first round to David Adeleye in 2024, and he has only had one fight since that defeat.
Although the Anderson-Dacres fight has been canceled, the Manchester event will still go ahead as planned, with Fabio Wardley defending his WBO heavyweight title for the first time after winning the title with a stoppage victory over Joseph Parker.
Wardley remains undefeated and his opponent is Daniel Dubois, who has a 95% knockout rate.
Dubois is heading straight for another shot at the world title after being stopped by Oleksandr Usyk last July.
Wardley vs. Dubois it should be an epic fight, and the pair showed off their incredible knockout ability throughout their careers. The Ipswich fighter has wins over Justis Huni, Frazer Clarke and Joseph Parker, while Daniel Dubois has stopped Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, so a stoppage seems the most likely outcome for the main event.

Dillian Whyte is eager to fight Joseph Parker again.
In 2018, Whyte and Parker played 12 invigorating rounds, with both hitting the canvas.
Whyte won his dramatic heavyweight fight by unanimous decision at the O2 Arena.
‘The Body Snatcher’ is now planning a rematch with the Recent Zealander, who is looking to clear his name after testing positive for cocaine following his October defeat to Fabio Wardley.
“There are a lot of good fights and Joseph Parker is one of them,” the 38-year-old said Ring Magazine.
“I would love to fight Joseph Parker, I think it’s a really good fight.
“He has to come back, he has to be cleared or whatever. I don’t know the situation.
“So in the meantime I have to stay busy and fight my way back, so let’s see.
“I feel like I still have a little bit to give, so let’s see what we can do to finish the season on a high.
“I’m training now and I want to come back in May or June.
“Now it’s just a matter of training and seeing what comes out on this kind of date.”
The former world title challenger from Brixton has not fought since a crushing first-round knockout defeat to rising contender Moses Itauma last August in Riyad.
Former world champion Parker won six times on spin before being stopped in the 11th round against Wardley, losing the WBO interim title and a shot at unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.
The 34-year-old says he is going through this process after failing the test and hopes it will be resolved soon.
“Let’s hope so [I’m back] soon,” Parker said Professional boxing fans.
“I’m just going through the process and practicing patience.
“We just have to be patient and learn from what they say happened.
“I know what happened and I handed over everything, so let’s see.”

Tony Yoka has broken his silence on Lawrence Okolie’s failed test that canceled their scheduled heavyweight fight.
On Saturday in Paris, Yoka was scheduled to face Okolie in a fierce heavyweight fight.
But on Tuesday, the Briton failed a VADA test, reportedly for GHRP 2 and its metabolite M8, a synthetic substance that stimulates the body to release human growth hormone.
Promoter Frank Warren tried to find a slow replacement, but later canceled the entire show.
Yoka (33) admits that he was bitterly disappointed with the situation.
“I was disappointed because I wanted to fight,” said the 33-year-old talkSPORT.
“Of course I was ready.
“It’s not like it happened a few months before, it was three, four days before the fight.
“It was a great opportunity.
“It would have put me in a really good position, so it really worried me.
“What was more disappointing to me was that they just canceled the entire show, but I understand it’s a business.”
The Frenchman says he won’t wait too long and has been told he will either fight on the card Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois May 9 in Manchester or on the bill Dave Allen vs Filip Hrgovic on May 16 in Doncaster.

Okolie, the WBC’s number one contender for Oleksandr Usyk’s title, promised in a statement to clear his name.
“Before anyone starts imagining the worst, after last year’s bicep injury, I suffered an elbow injury on the same shoulder during this camp.
“I underwent treatment and now we are here.
“I hope common sense will prevail.

“I will of course cooperate fully with all relevant authorities and I am confident that any investigation will clear my name.
“I will not be making any further comments at this time.
“Thank you for all your support and see you soon.”
