Caroline Dubois says she is frustrated that she must defend her title rather than pursue a unification fight. Speaking after her comments toward IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan, Dubois describes Turhan’s requirements as “ridiculous” and refers to her in derogatory terms, saying she is “blasts” Turhan’s position. The reports indicate Dubois is focused on arranging her next bout through the IBF’s defence route.
In the same comments, Dubois looks ahead to a potential fight with Stephanie Han and says she aims to face Han before the end of 2026. The coverage frames Dubois’s plans as dependent on reaching agreement around her mandatory or ordered defence obligations, rather than immediately stepping into a unification contest. Both sources present the story as a mix of frustration over negotiation demands and a forward-looking schedule for a future matchup with Han, without adding further verified details about specific contract terms or confirmed dates.
