LONDON (AP) — Caroline Dubois added the WBO lightweight title to her WBC crown with a unanimous points victory over fellow Briton Terri Harper on Sunday.

The London-born younger sister of heavyweight Daniel Dubois scored a 98-91, 97-92, 98-91 win to see off Harper, who was bleeding heavily after a clash of heads in the eighth round, at London Olympia on Sunday night.

Dubois had struggled to get to her opponent initially but floored her with a heavy left in the sixth round and never looked back.
