This weekend, Alycia Baumgardner and Elif Nur Turhan will headline an all-women’s fight card in Texas, with their clash serving as one of four world-title bouts.
Baumgardner, a former undisputed super-featherweight champion, will move up to lightweight to challenge Nur Turhan for the IBF belt. But to take the gold, Baumgardner will have to do what no one has done: beat the Turkish fighter.
Yet the American challenger will fancy her chances given her own pedigree, as she bids to become a two-weight champion and set up a fight with Britain’s Caroline Dubois.
On the undercard, Australian fan favourite Skye Nicolson defends her super-bantamweight title against Miyo Yoshida, and two of the division’s other belts are up for grabs when Ramla Ali faces Mikiah Kreps. There will also be a super-flyweight title fight pitting champion Irma Garcia against Nataly Delgado.
