While the British boxer asserts she is chomping at the bit for her upcoming fight, she is not shy about using her platform to share her loftier ambitions to unify the world lightweight division.
"To be honest, I always think about what's next," Dubois told Sky Sports .
"Not to be distracted about what is in front of me, but I believe in setting goals. I believe in setting little goals, big goals, massive goals and having timelines.
"For me, the biggest timeline has to be becoming undisputed. We have two more champions in the weight division, [Stephanie] Han and [Elif Nur] Turhan. Whichever one makes the most sense, whichever one is more feasible and accessible for the next fight, we have to go after that.
"It's not about announcing myself - I've already been announced - but cementing myself as the world champion and proving to the world why I'm the world champion, why I'm the only unified world champion.
"It's about sending a message to the rest of the 135ers [in Dubois' weight division] that the queen is in town and this is what's up - I'm coming for the belts!"
Dubois has no problem expressing her desire to achieve her long-term targets, but her focus remains firmly on putting in a dominant performance against Moore in Birmingham.
"I just can't wait to step into the ring, punch her in the face and get this over with," she said.
"We're going to see vintage Caroline Dubois and we're going to see complete domination.
"I'm not going to focus too much on getting the stoppage. I'm just going to focus on going out there and having fun.
"I just know I'm going to go out there and do my thing, which is going to be look very good and look very exciting. Body, head, attacks, aggressive - vintage."
