Baumgardner Challenges Dubois to Prove Herself Before Potential Showdown

Alycia Baumgardner believes Caroline Dubois must continue to build her reputation 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, but the American remains unimpressed, stating that Dubois needs to put in more work and prove herself as a champion. Baumgardner thinks that Dubois is avoiding her by considering a move to 147lbs. Meanwhile, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promoters, suggests that Dubois should focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Bidarian also expresses interest in a potential matchup between Shadasia Green and Claressa Shields, should Green emerge victorious in her upcoming title unification bout.
