Caroline Dubois has called for boxing authorities to bring the length of female professional and amateur rounds in line with each other by labelling the difference between the two as “ridiculous.”

As it stands, professional female boxers are limited to ten two-minute rounds whilst amateurs experience three-minute rounds.

The southpaw finds the difference between the two bemusing and believes it holds the sport back from reaching its potential.
