Shout-out to Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner. She moved up to lightweight, took on an undefeated champion and won every round on all three judges’ cards.

Baumgardner defeated Elif Nur Turhan by unanimous decision on Sunday, Nov. 8, at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. All three judges scored the fight 100–90, giving Baumgardner the IBF lightweight title and making her a world champion in two weight classes.

Turhan came forward looking to land big hooks. Baumgardner used her jab to control the distance and caught her with straight punches as she came in. That discipline carried Baumgardner through 10 three-minute rounds and handed Turhan her first professional loss. Most Valuable Promotions’ fight recap

Caroline Dubois wants Baumgardner next. The WBC and WBO lightweight champion spoke to Baumgardner from ringside after the win and kept the pressure on afterward, writing on X, “She ain’t answer the question tho.” Dubois has said she wants an undisputed title fight with Baumgardner at London’s O2 Arena in 2027. The Independent and MiddleEasy

Dubois is booked to face WBA champion Stephanie Han on Feb. 20, 2027, in El Paso. The winner would hold three of the four major lightweight belts, with Baumgardner holding the IBF title. MVP’s Dubois–Han announcement
