Baumgardner Sets Sights on Superstars Taylor, Serrano, and Mayer

Unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner is on the hunt for the sport's biggest names, including Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and Mikaela Mayer. 'Those are all three great fights. Let's get them all,' Baumgardner exclaimed, making it clear that these fighters are her top priority over Britain's unified lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois. Baumgardner believes Dubois is not yet ready for a fight, stating, 'I am chasing the biggest fights. Dubois is not ready. Is she hungry? Absolutely. Am I ducking smoke? No.' Before pursuing these high-profile bouts, 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, 'One thing about Bo is that she's coming to fight. She is a warrior, just as I know she is. But I'm hungrier, and I'm meaner, and I'm just sharper.' Shin, however, is determined to ruin Baumgardner's plans, stating, 'Alycia was my goal. She has always been, but now it's time to take her belts for me.' The challenger has a deep respect for Baumgardner's skills but believes she has the perseverance to win. The highly anticipated fight between Baumgardner and Shin will be broadcast live on Sky Sports from 3am on Saturday morning.
