Caroline Dubois and trainer Shane McGuigan part ways

Caroline Dubois, currently preparing for her August 29 showdown with Amelie Moore, has parted company with longtime trainer Shane McGuigan.

Dubois and McGuigan, one of the leading coaches in Britain, have been together since 2021. She turned professional the following year and has thus far amassed a 13-0-1 (5 KOs) record in which she has become one of the leading fighters in the female code while winning WBC and WBO titles at lightweight.

Most recently the 25-year-old Dubois, younger sister of heavyweight titlist Daniel Dubois, defeated Terri Harper on points in April.

Dubois, promoted by MVP, has made no secret of her frustration to land the biggest fights. She had hoped for a unification bout with IBF beltholder Elif Nur Turhan and had also called out Alycia Baumgardner.

McGuigan also trains Ellie Scotney.

"Caroline is a generational talent and I think she's just scratching the surface," Scotney told Sky Sports.

"It's one of those where she has to follow if there's something new that she wants to align.

"Nothing was going wrong for her to make that move. But sometimes you just have to make a change, and I think she's at that place."

The news comes on the same day that MVP and Matchroom Boxing announced a "strategic alliance to create more opportunities, bigger fights, and an even brighter future for the sport."
