Baumgardner Challenges Dubois to Prove Herself

Alycia Baumgardner believes Caroline Dubois must demonstrate her skills and credentials 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 expressed interest in facing Baumgardner, but the American insists her British counterpart needs to further establish herself as a champion. Baumgardner stated, 'Every fight is a potential fight, but I think Caroline needs to continue building her reputation as a champion.' Dubois's promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, suggested that she should focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Alternatively, Baumgardner may face Caroline Veyre, the WBC belt-holder at 130lbs, in a bid to become the undisputed champion at super-featherweight. Bidarian's company, Most Valuable Promotions, aims to create a deep roster of talent in women's boxing, with over 45 fighters and 16 world champions. The company's goal is to become the reference brand for women's boxing, supporting the best athletes in the world.
