Dubois Challenges Baumgardner to Lightweight Showdown
Caroline Dubois, the reigning WBC and WBO lightweight champion, has called out Alycia Baumgardner for a potential 2027 showdown.
Caroline Dubois, the current WBC and WBO lightweight world champion, has thrown down the gauntlet to Alycia Baumgardner, setting the stage for what could be a defining moment in women's boxing history. Dubois, who sees herself as the undisputed lightweight champion by 2027, believes a fight with Baumgardner would be monumental for the sport.
Dubois' challenge comes after she faced what she considers to be disrespectful comments from Baumgardner. With her sights set on becoming the undisputed champion, Dubois is eager to face Baumgardner, especially if the latter emerges victorious in her upcoming bout against Elif Nur Turhan. This upcoming fight, part of MVPW07, is seen as a significant milestone in Baumgardner's career, with MVP positioning her as a future star in women's boxing.
Dubois, who holds the unified junior lightweight championship, is set to face WBA champion Stephanie Han on February 20th in El Paso, Texas. However, her focus remains firmly on Baumgardner, whom she believes might struggle if Turhan catches her early due to Turhan's notable power and aggression. The fight between Baumgardner and Turhan will take place in the lightweight division, with the bout scheduled for three-minute rounds, marking a new format for Turhan.
Dubois' plan is to meet Baumgardner face-to-face should the latter win her upcoming fight. This face-to-face meeting is likely to be a pivotal moment in the build-up to their potential 2027 clash. Both fighters have impressive records, with Baumgardner boasting 18 wins and 1 loss, including 7 knockouts, while Turhan has 14 wins and 0 losses, with 8 knockouts.
