Baumgardner Calls on Dubois to Prove Herself Before Potential Showdown
American boxer Alycia Baumgardner believes that Caroline Dubois needs to further establish herself as a champion before a potential fight between the two can take place. Baumgardner is set to defend her unified WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin. Following her recent victory over Terri Harper, Dubois expressed interest in facing Baumgardner, but the American thinks Dubois should continue to build her reputation. Baumgardner suggests that Dubois needs to put in more work and prove herself before calling her out for a high-profile match. Meanwhile, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promoters, thinks Dubois should focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Bidarian also expressed interest in a potential matchup between Shadasia Green and Claressa Shields, should Green emerge victorious in her upcoming title unification bout.
