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 world titles against Bo Mi Re Shin.
Following her recent victory over Terri Harper, Dubois called out Baumgardner for a high-profile match, but Baumgardner remains unconvinced, suggesting that Dubois should continue to build her reputation and 'put more skin in the game' before a fight between them can be considered. Meanwhile, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promoters, recommends that Dubois should focus on becoming close to undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight with Baumgardner. Baumgardner may have another title opportunity on the horizon, as WBC belt-holder Caroline Veyre has expressed interest in a potential match. The world of women's boxing continues to grow, with Most Valuable Promotions aiming to become the leading brand in the sport, boasting a roster of over 45 fighters, including 16 world champions.
