Unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner is on the hunt for the sport's most high-profile fights, naming Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, and Mikaela Mayer as her top targets. 'Those three are all great matchups.
I want them all,' Baumgardner declared. For the American boxer, these fighters take priority over Britain's unified lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois. 'I'm after the biggest and best fights.
Dubois isn't ready yet, but I'm not avoiding her either. I'm focused on the top contests, and that one will happen when the time is right,' Baumgardner explained. Before pursuing those bouts, Baumgardner must first defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin at New York's Madison Square Garden Theater, live on Sky Sports. 'Bo Mi Re Shin is a warrior, but I'm hungrier and sharper,' Baumgardner said.
'I can go the distance, and now I want to unleash my meaner and more aggressive side.' Shin, however, is determined to ruin Baumgardner's plans. 'Alycia has always been my goal, and now it's time for me to take her titles,' Shin said. 'I respect Baumgardner's style and strength, but I believe I have the perseverance to outlast her.'
