The upcoming boxing event will feature a significant women's super featherweight title fight between champion Alycia Baumgardner and Canadian challenger Leila Beaudoin. This bout is scheduled to occur just before the highly anticipated Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua match, highlighting top talent in women's boxing.

Her seven knockout victories underscore her punching power, posing a significant threat. Beaudoin, a challenger with a background in downhill skiing, is noted for her aggressive style and volume punching, which could challenge Baumgardner's dominance.
