Jessica Kamara believes she can upset WBC lightweight champion Caroline Dubois when they fight live on Saturday. Sky Sports.
Kamara is no stranger to surprises this spring, having suffered his first defeat of more than 10 points in Korea last year to former world champion Hyun Mi Cho.
“I like big fights and I like challenges,” Kamara said.
The Canadian may have four losses in her 18-fight pro career, but Choi isn’t the only big-name fighter she’s beaten, with Kamara also beating American star Heather Hardy in the past.
“I think I’m special. I’ve done everything in my career and I’m proud of it. I think I’ll be on top on Saturday,” Kamara said.

But Dubois immediately returned fire. He wasn’t impressed with Kamara’s win over Choi.
“Not at all. Choi, I think a lot of girls were gunning for him for some reason,” the Londoner declared.
He directly told Kamara. “Thank you, but I’m not Choi, I would have stopped Choi, I would have knocked him out and I intend to do the same against you on Saturday.
“It’s not going to be a challenge, it’s going to be a mountain to overcome.
“I’m here, I’m coming, I’m 135 pounds and this is my share.”
“I’m the real deal”
Also on Saturday’s bill in Sheffield, Callum Simpson will defend his British and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles against dangerous challenger Steed Woodall.

Callum Simpson has opened up about the tragic loss of his 19-year-old sister, who died on holiday just weeks after winning her last fight in Oakwell.
Simpson won his belts at the Oakwell Stadium in his hometown of Barnsley on a memorable night when he defeated Zac Chelly.
Woodall, however, impressively knocked out the talented Leron Richards and will be a threat on Saturday when they box at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield.
The champion, however, promises a display of Yorkshire grit.
“Every fight is a must-win,” Simpson said. “Every fight we try and step up.
“I wanted to defend my British and co-titles and Steed was the toughest fight out there and that’s what I wanted.
“I’m looking forward to proving that I’m the real deal.”
