Caroline Dubois reveals reason behind split from Shane McGuigan

The Briton is starting a new chapter in her career.

Caroline Dubois parted ways with her long-term coach, Shane McGuigan, this week.

McGuigan, widely regarded as one of boxing’s leading trainers, had worked with Dubois since she turned professional in 2021.

The reason behind their split was unclear at the time, but Dubois has since explained her decision.

She said: “Most times fighters leave a coach when they lose, and they want someone to blame or throw under the bus; that’s a lame move.

“At the end of the day, I’m so happy and proud of the journey we had together. I’ve become the unified world champion, I’ve announced myself into women’s boxing and on the biggest stage possible.

“We did that with Shane McGuigan as my coach and as a massive part of my team.

“I just want to say a massive thank you to Shane McGuigan who was a phenomenal coach and is a phenomenal coach. I’m honoured, proud and privileged to be part of that.

“That work doesn’t get forgotten, lost or disappear; it grows and adds to the stable.

“I’m on a quest for greatness and will do whatever it takes to get there, and for me, moving to America and trying a different coaching team is a part of that quest.

“I want to grow and develop and be the best fighter you’ve ever seen. A fighter should never stop learning or growing or limit themselves.”

Dubois is now being trained by Manny Robles, ahead of her WBC and WBO lightweight title defence against Amelia Moore in Birmingham on August 29.
