Baumgardner Aims to Conquer Boxing's New Era

Alycia Baumgardner was signed by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) in March 2025 with the goal of establishing her as women's boxing's next prominent figure. This aligns with the potential retirements of boxing icons Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in 2026, opening a significant opportunity for Baumgardner to ascend. MVP CEOs Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian expressed confidence in Baumgardner's ability to lead the sport.

Baumgardner, the WBO, IBF, and WBA junior lightweight champion, is headlining MVPW 02 on Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This event, broadcast on ESPN, is seen as her pivotal moment to demonstrate her claim as the sport's future face. She has been actively promoted with co-main event spots on major cards since her signing.
