Alycia Baumgardner prepares to make a significant weight-class jump this Sunday, moving up from her former undisputed super-featherweight division to challenge Elif Nur Turhan for the IBF lightweight title. The bout serves as the main event of an all-women’s card in Arlington, Texas, where the American challenger aims to become a two-weight champion. However, the path to gold is steep, as Turhan has never been defeated in her professional career, making this a high-stakes test for Baumgardner’s ambition to set up a clash with Britain’s Caroline Dubois.
