Alycia Baumgardner believes Caroline Dubois needs to further establish her reputation as a champion before she considers a fight against the unified lightweight world titleholder. 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 expressed interest in facing Baumgardner, but the American is not convinced that Dubois has done enough to warrant a high-profile fight.
Baumgardner suggests that Dubois should continue to build her profile and prove herself as a champion before calling her out. Meanwhile, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promoters, recommends that Dubois focus on becoming undisputed in her division before pursuing a fight against Baumgardner. Bidarian also mentions the possibility of matching Dubois with Stephanie Han, who is scheduled to fight Holly Holm. Baumgardner may have another title opportunity on the horizon, as WBC belt-holder Caroline Veyre is interested in a potential fight.
Dmitriy Salita, Veyre's promoter, expressed confidence in his fighter's ability to come out on top. The women's boxing scene continues to grow, with Most Valuable Promotions aiming to become the leading brand in the sport.
