American boxer Alycia Baumgardner believes Caroline Dubois must continue to 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 thinks Dubois needs to do more to build her reputation as a champion. Dubois's team, Most Valuable Promoters, suggests she should focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Meanwhile, Baumgardner could potentially become the undisputed champion at super-featherweight again, with a fight against WBC belt-holder Caroline Veyre being considered.
