Unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner is gunning for the biggest names in boxing, with Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and Mikaela Mayer firmly in her sights. 'Those are all great fights, let's make them happen,' Baumgardner exclaimed.
The American fighter considers these bouts a higher priority than a potential matchup against Britain's unified lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois. 'I'm chasing the biggest fights, and Dubois isn't ready yet,' Baumgardner stated.
Before pursuing these high-profile fights, Baumgardner must first defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin at New York's Madison Square Garden Theater. 'Bo is a warrior, but I'm hungrier and meaner,' Baumgardner said. Shin, however, is determined to disrupt Baumgardner's plans, saying, 'Alycia has always been my goal, and now it's time to take her belts.' The challenger added, 'I have great respect for Baumgardner, but I believe I have more perseverance, and I will prove it.'
