WBO/IBF junior lightweight world champion Mikaela Mayer (17-0, 5 KOs) and WBC champion Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner (12-1, 7 KOs) have traded social media haymakers. Soon, the two will throw down in the ring. Top Rank has secured the rights to the Mayer-Baumgardner title unification showdown, which will take place in late summer/early fall. Date, venue, and ticket information will be announced in the coming weeks.
“Mikaela Mayer’s prodigious talent is only matched by her tremendous ambition,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “She wants the biggest fights, and Alycia Baumgardner is a worthy champion. This is a huge event and one of the most anticipated matchups in women’s boxing.”
This is a fantastic fight on paper. Could go either way and whoever wins will have a lot of options. Should be great to watch.
Who?
Awesome fight. Will be a war I think.
