Unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner is eager to take on the best in the sport, naming Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and Mikaela Mayer as her top targets. 'Those are all three great fights.
Let's get them all,' Baumgardner said, prioritizing these bouts over a potential match against Britain's Caroline Dubois. Baumgardner believes Dubois is not yet ready for a fight of this caliber, stating, 'I am chasing the biggest fights. Dubois is not ready... I am aligned with the biggest fights possible, and that fight will happen when it happens.' First, Baumgardner must defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF titles against Bo Mi Re Shin at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
Baumgardner is confident in her abilities, saying, 'One thing about Bo is that she's coming to fight. She is a warrior... But I'm hungrier, and I'm meaner, and I'm just sharper.' Shin, however, is determined to ruin Baumgardner's plans, saying, 'Alycia was my goal. She has always been, but now it's time to take her belts for me.' The fight will be broadcast live on Sky Sports from 3am on Saturday morning.
