Baumgardner Sets Sights on Taylor, Serrano, and Mayer
Unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner is gunning for the sport's top names, including Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and Mikaela Mayer. 'Those are all three great fights. Let's get them all,' Baumgardner exclaimed. For the American, these fighters take priority over Britain's unified lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois. 'I am chasing the biggest fights. Dubois is not ready. Is she hungry? Absolutely. Am I ducking smoke? No. I am aligned with the biggest fights possible, and that fight will happen when it happens,' Baumgardner stated. Before pursuing these big names, Baumgardner first defends her WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin at New York's Madison Square Garden Theater, live on Sky Sports. 'One thing about Bo is that she's coming to fight. She is a warrior, just as I know she is. But I'm hungrier, and I'm meaner, and I'm just sharper,' Baumgardner said. Shin, however, aims to derail Baumgardner's plans, focusing solely on claiming her belts. 'Alycia was my goal. She has always been, but now it's time to take her belts for me,' Shin said. 'I have a great respect for Baumgardner. She has a great style of boxing. She's a strong fighter, but I believe I have more perseverance, and I will show you.'
