Alycia Baumgardner believes Caroline Dubois must further establish herself as a champion before a potential bout 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 for a high-profile fight. However, Baumgardner remains unimpressed, stating that Dubois needs to build her reputation and put in more work before a fight between them can be considered.
Baumgardner expressed her willingness to fight anyone but emphasized that Dubois must prove herself first. Dubois's team, on the other hand, suggests that she should focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Meanwhile, Baumgardner could become the undisputed champion at super-featherweight again if she faces and defeats Caroline Veyre, the current WBC belt-holder at 130lbs.
