Baumgardner Challenges Dubois to Prove Herself Before a Potential Fight

American boxer Alycia Baumgardner believes that Caroline Dubois needs to further establish herself as a champion before a potential match 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. Dubois recently won the WBC and WBO lightweight world championship and has expressed interest in fighting Baumgardner. However, Baumgardner thinks that Dubois should continue to build her reputation and prove herself as a champion before they can consider a high-profile fight. Baumgardner stated that she has already shown her capabilities as a champion and now it's Dubois' turn to do the same. Meanwhile, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promoters, suggested that Dubois should focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Bidarian also mentioned that a potential fight between Dubois and Stephanie Han could be a good matchup. Baumgardner could potentially become the undisputed champion at super-featherweight again if she defeats Shin and then faces Caroline Veyre, the WBC belt-holder at 130lbs. Dmitriy Salita, Veyre's promoter, expressed interest in making the fight happen if Baumgardner is successful in her upcoming match. Most Valuable Promotions is working to establish itself as a major player in women's boxing, with a roster of over 45 fighters, including 16 world champions. The company's goal is to become the reference brand for women's boxing and provide a platform for female athletes to succeed.
