Experts have their say ahead of the Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper world lightweight title unification clash, live on Sky Sports from 7pm on Sunday…
Mikaela Mayer (two-weight champion)
It’s going to be a great fight. If I had to pick a winner, I might have to go with Caroline Dubois, just because of her amateur pedigree.
She’s a really good boxer but Terri Harper has always given us the fights we want to see.
She has never been scared to step in the ring with challenging opponents. We see it in her résumé, and so you can’t look past it, you can’t count her out.
It’ll definitely go to decision. Caroline is probably the better, more technically sound boxer. I don’t see her stopping Harper.
Nina Meinke (IBF featherweight champion)
That’s going to be an interesting fight. It was crazy what was going on in the last weeks. I’m going with Caroline.
I think she’s the stronger and tougher fighter, but I’m cheering for Terri. I like the attitude of Terri.
I like that she’s not going with all that hate and stuff, so I prefer that a little bit more. Terri is a strong fighter as well.

Johnny Nelson breaks down the pre-fight bad blood between Terri Harper and Caroline Dubois ahead of Sunday’s WBC and WBO lightweight unification bout.
Johnny Nelson (Former world champion)
I think it’ll be an inside-the-distance win.
I know it was only a little shove [at their first fight-week face-off] but I was surprised that Terri was actually that strong.
She had to regroup herself. I know it’s reading into things, but I think Caroline realised how strong she was.
I think if they get into a tear up, I’d back Caroline. But I don’t think it’s going to be easy. I think Terri’s got more miles on the clock but I think Caroline is the one coming in there chasing rather than running.
A harder than expected inside-the-distance win for Caroline.

The bad feeling between Caroline Dubois and Terri Harper showed no sign of easing at the press conference and they had to be separated by security.
Frazer Clarke (Olympic medallist)
Harper is a very experienced campaigner but Caroline seems to have this spite about her at the minute which I really love because I can remember quiet, shy Caroline Dubois.
I can remember the Caroline Dubois that was in pieces after the Olympics, after her loss.
I love the spite that she’s got now and I think that she’s a phenomenal fighter so I’m going to say that Caroline comes through. With the vicious side of her, I think she stops Harper.

At the media workouts Caroline Dubois and Terri Harper gave their version of Wednesday’s face-off shove.
Claressa Shields (multi-weight undisputed champion)
Nothing against Harper, I’m just a fan of the youngster, Caroline.
She sees greatness in herself and she respects the game and she just continues to learn and get better. I love what I’m seeing from her. Listen, she is somebody to be reckoned with.

WBO welterweight champion Mikaela Mayer is a fighter very much in demand, but who does she want to fight next?
Lawrence Okolie (former world champion)
I think it’s a great fight and I think Dubois is probably one of the best boxers in the world. She just needs to go out there and show it, get this experience.
Fighting someone like this is just going to add to that. Obviously it’s a seasoned world champion that she’s going in against but I think she’s got more than what it takes.
