The current unified super-featherweight champion, Alycia Baumgardner, is eager to take on the best fighters in the sport, naming Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and Mikaela Mayer as her top targets. 'Those are all great fights, let's make them happen,' Baumgardner exclaimed.
For the American boxer, these fights take priority over a potential match against Britain's unified lightweight world champion, Caroline Dubois. Baumgardner made it clear that she is focused on the biggest and most challenging fights, stating, 'I'm not avoiding anyone, I'm just focused on the best opportunities.' Before pursuing these high-profile matches, Baumgardner must first defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. Baumgardner is confident in her abilities, saying, 'My opponent is a warrior, but I'm hungrier and sharper.' Shin, however, is determined to ruin Baumgardner's plans, saying, 'Alycia has always been my goal, and now it's time to take her belts.' The challenger has a deep respect for Baumgardner's skills but believes she has the perseverance to come out on top.
