Alycia Baumgardner just put the entire lightweight division on notice. Sunday at MVPW-07 in Arlington, Texas, “The Bomb” delivered the best performance of her career, shutting out IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan across 10 rounds to capture the belt and become a two-division titleholder. The scorecards told the whole story: 100-90 across the board.

This wasn’t just a win — it was a statement.

How Did Alycia Baumgardner Dominate Elif Nur Turhan?

Baumgardner (19-1, 7 KOs) entered her 135-pound debut as Uncrowned’s No. 6-ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world, already having cleaned out the entire super featherweight division. But stepping up in weight against Turhan (14-1, 8 KOs) was no guaranteed stroll. Turhan was the more experienced fighter at 135 pounds, a legitimate contender for 2025’s Fighter of the Year, and someone who’d already proven she could deliver some of the most devastating knockouts in women’s boxing.

None of that mattered once the opening bell rang.

From the jump, Baumgardner looked like a completely different fighter from the one who’d flattered to deceive since signing with MVP in 2025. Whether it was the weight cut finally agreeing with her or her new partnership with Texas-based coach Derrick James paying off, the explosive, exciting version of “The Bomb” was back on full display. She detonated countershots on Turhan’s chin and cheekbones round after round, using sharp positioning and defensive instincts to neutralize everything Turhan threw her way.

Turhan’s biggest mistake? She never adjusted. She kept swinging for the fences with wild haymakers that connected with nothing but air, and that gave Baumgardner all the room she needed to counter at will — jabs, straights, uppercuts, and body shots that backed Turhan up from the first round to the last.

“This is the face of women’s boxing,” Baumgardner said after the win. “I stepped up.”

What’s Next for Alycia Baumgardner?

Baumgardner isn’t slowing down, and she made that crystal clear in her post-fight comments. Without calling out any specific names, she put the rest of the lightweight division on alert.

“What’s next is undisputed, just like I did at 130 [pounds]. Let’s go,” she said.

Right now, the path to undisputed runs through the winner of the February 20 unification bout between WBC/WBO champion Caroline Dubois and WBA titleholder Stephanie Han. And in a moment that felt almost scripted, Dubois was sitting ringside for Baumgardner’s win Sunday. She wasted no time grabbing a microphone to throw down the gauntlet to boxing’s newest champion.

If that fight comes together, a showdown between Baumgardner and Dubois for undisputed status would be one of the biggest fights in women’s boxing in 2027.
