Alycia Baumgardner Successfully Defends Unified Junior Lightweight Titles
Alycia Baumgardner has retained her junior lightweight titles with a unanimous decision victory over Bo Mi Re Shin, and is now setting her sights on high-profile bouts against Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. The American boxer dominated the fight, despite a fierce challenge from Shin in the sixth and seventh rounds. Baumgardner's confidence and skill ultimately paid off, as she secured a 98-92, 98-92, 99-91 win. Following her victory, Baumgardner expressed her desire to take on the biggest names in the sport, while also dismissing a potential fight against Caroline Dubois. Baumgardner remains focused on her goal of becoming the best, and is eager to learn and grow from each experience. In another notable bout, Lani Daniels pulled off a stunning upset, knocking out Shadasia Green in the ninth round to become the new IBF, WBO, and Ring super middleweight champion. Green, the former IBF and WBO super middleweight champion, was taken to hospital for testing after being stretchered out of the ring due to injury.
