Baumgardner: Dubois Must Prove Herself Before a Potential Fight

Alycia Baumgardner believes Caroline Dubois needs to further establish herself as a champion before a potential fight between the two can take place. Baumgardner is set to defend her unified WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight world titles against Bo Mi Re Shin. Following her recent victory over Terri Harper, Dubois called out Baumgardner for a high-profile match, but Baumgardner remains unconvinced, suggesting Dubois needs to build her reputation and 'put some more skin in the game.' Meanwhile, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promoters, thinks Dubois should focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Alternatively, Baumgardner could face Caroline Veyre, the WBC belt-holder at 130lbs, in a potential undisputed championship fight.
