Some of her younger siblings went with her, carving out a new family dynamic.

She hopes to reconcile with Daniel but the story with her father is different.

When you separate yourself from a person who can be overbearing, you find what you like and what you dislike.

Caroline Dubois is thriving after carving out her own path separate from the family legacy.

She remained faithful to trainer Shane McGuigan when Daniel quit.

Her father claimed he doesn't support women who box, something Caroline firmly disputes.

Dubois is one of seven siblings and now lives with an accountant, the only member not engaged in boxing.

Caroline and Daniel became world champions within six months of each other under their father's disciplinarian eye.

The rupture with their father was a central catalyst, as Caroline described feeling overbearing control and a lack of voice.

While Daniel pursued his own path, Caroline carved a new identity in the McGuigan gym and struck out independently.

The family's boxing legacy remains, but the personal costs are now publicly visible.
