Alycia Baumgardner responds to suggestions she is scared of fellow boxer Caroline Dubois, describing the claims as unfounded. Speaking amid ongoing discussion of a possible future fight, Baumgardner says Dubois is “not at her level yet” and frames the criticism as coming from others rather than reflecting her own assessment.
Both reports attribute Baumgardner’s comments to her reaction to remarks she links to Shields, which she says leave the impression of fear. She characterizes those statements as jealousy and rejects the premise that she is hesitant about a potential showdown with Dubois. The outlets focus on her public stance and her view of the relative stages of the two fighters, while noting that the idea of a fight remains a topic of discussion rather than a confirmed event.
Overall, the coverage converges on Baumgardner’s dismissal of fear claims and her insistence that Dubois has not yet reached her perceived standard, in the context of speculative matchup talks.
