Caroline Dubois says advice from world champion Claressa Shields has emphasised the importance of overcoming pre-fight nerves, ahead of her second professional outing later this month.
The 21-year-old will return to the ring at Wembley Arena on March 26, live on Sky Sports, as she looks to build on an impressive professional debut last month, in which she sealed a dominant victory over Vaida Masikaite.
Despite arriving in the pros with a brilliant 37-3 amateur record, Dubois, who fights in the loaded lightweight division ruled by unified champion Katie Taylor, admitted that the atmosphere in Cardiff gave her some butterflies as she made her way to the ring.
American Shields, who produced a dominant victory of her own to stay on track for a middleweight unification bout with Savannah Marshall later this year, had earlier offered some wisdom.
