Baumgardner Challenges Dubois to Prove Herself Before Potential Showdown

Alycia Baumgardner believes that Caroline Dubois must continue to build her reputation as a champion before a potential fight between the two can take place. Baumgardner, who is set to defend her unified WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight world titles against Bo Mi Re Shin, thinks that Dubois needs to put in more work to prove herself as a worthy opponent. Following her recent victory over Terri Harper, Dubois called out Baumgardner, but the American is not convinced that Dubois is ready for a high-profile clash. Baumgardner stated that she has already proven herself as a champion and it's now up to Dubois 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 matchup between Dubois and Stephanie Han could be a good option for Dubois. On the other hand, Dmitriy Salita, promoter of Caroline Veyre, expressed interest in a potential fight between Baumgardner and Veyre for the undisputed super-featherweight title. The vision of Most Valuable Promotions is to become the leading brand in women's boxing, with a focus on creating a deep roster of talented fighters and providing opportunities for women in the sport.
