Dubois v Harper – world title fight predictions
On Sunday night, either WBC world champion Caroline Dubois or WBO title-holder Terri Harper will strengthen their claim to be the world's best lightweight fighter.
The pair will meet in a unified title fight at London's Olympia Stadium.
London's Dubois is unbeaten in 13 professional bouts, with 12 wins and one draw. The 25-year-old has long been heralded as one of the brightest prospects in women's boxing.
Harper, from Doncaster, is a 29-year-old three-weight world champion who has shared the ring with some of the sport's best. Her record stands at 16 wins, two defeats and two draws.
So who will come out on top on Easter Sunday? Will Dubois maintain her unbeaten record against her rival or will Harper show she is far from finished?
BBC Sport asks figures from across the boxing world for their predictions.

The predictions
Amanda Serrano – seven-weight world champion:
"I love Harper but she's been stopped twice. Dubois is too good and too strong. So I'm going for Dubois by stoppage in the middle to late rounds."
Prediction – Dubois
Natasha Jonas – former two-weight world champion:
"I think Dubois wins on points. Mentally, physically and emotionally she's got the edge. But I don't think it will be as easy as she is saying."
Prediction – Dubois
Claressa Shields – undisputed heavyweight champion:
"I'm so excited to see Caroline take on her biggest challenge yet and experience a three-division world champion in Terri. But I look forward to seeing Caroline back up all the confidence and show how great she really is. I got Caroline winning. I can't be too hard on her, I see what she's doing. It's not often I get to watch greatness and I believe Dubois is greatness."
Prediction – Dubois
Francesca Hennessy – British bantamweight:
"This will be a great fight, both girls are great fighters. I am really excited for this one, they have a bit of fire between them. If I had to chose I feel like Dubois will get the win on this one. I feel like skill-wise Dubois will get the win. But Harper is a great fighter herself. I reckon a points win for Dubois."
Prediction – Dubois
Shane McGuigan – Dubois' trainer:
"Anything can happen in a boxing match. It depends how Harper approaches the fight. If she comes out and genuinely tries to win the fight, she will walk on to something. If she goes super negative, it will go a bit later. But I do think Caroline will stop her."
Prediction – Dubois
Mikaela Mayer – American three-weight world champion:
"I think Harper is a good boxer. You know she's going to work hard, will do her best and always puts on fights that everyone wants to see.
"She's challenged herself against some top names so you have to respect her for that. But I don't know if she has the pedigree to beat Dubois, who has an extensive amateur career and is a very technically sound boxer.
"So if I had to put my money on it, I'd put it on a Dubois win but either way, it's going to be a great fight and I'm looking forward to it."
Prediction – Dubois
Shannon Courtenay – bantamweight boxer:
"It comes down to discipline under pressure. The fighter who controls the tempo and doesn't get emotional will win."
Prediction – 50/50
Paul Smith – coach and retired boxer:
"I think Dubois wins this one by late stoppage."
Prediction – Dubois
