The world of female boxing is garnering attention and interest by the time. Boxers like Amanda Serrano have been an inspiration for many other female boxers including Dubois. Serrano is known for her fierceness and aggressiveness in the ring. Out of 44 victories, 30 have been via stoppages giving her a 63% knockout ratio. Dubois looks up to Serrano for her accomplishments and endeavor to be a fighter like her.

Reflecting on the same, in an interview, she stated, “I wanna be someone like Amanda Serrano, one of that kind of fighters that brings stoppages as well as good performances.” She further elaborates, “You know I want to excite people that is the most important. It is very important for me to put on a performance every time and get a stoppage.”

Safe to say, Dubois will be an aggressive fighter in the ring in order to get those stoppages. Not to mention, she is aware of the same and also stated, “In the ring I can be myself. I can be as aggressive, as mean, as nasty as I want. I can express myself.”
