Baumgardner Demands More From Dubois Before Agreeing to Fight
Alycia Baumgardner believes Caroline Dubois needs to further establish herself as a champion before she considers a high-profile bout against the unified lightweight world champion. 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 is not convinced that Dubois is ready for the fight. Baumgardner stated that she has consistently put on great shows and become undisputed in her division, and now it's Dubois' turn to prove herself. Dubois' team suggests that she should focus on unifying the lightweight division before pursuing a fight against Baumgardner. Meanwhile, Baumgardner could become the undisputed champion at super-featherweight once again, with a potential fight against WBC belt-holder Caroline Veyre on the horizon.
