Alycia Baumgardner Return Confirmed
Baumgardner will return to action on the historic Netflix card against the undefeated WBA Interim world champion, Spain’s Jennifer Miranda (12-0, 1 KO) in the co-main event to Taylor-Serrano 3.
MVP signing “The Bomb” is a statement of intent and an indication of their continued intent to take women’s boxing to a new level. Baumgardner is the undoubted queen of the super featherweight division, with impressive wins against Elhem Mekhaled, Mikaela Mayer and Terri Harper. Following her rematch win over Christina Linardatou, the Ohio native registered an adverse finding for mesterolone and methenolone acetate metabolites in a random test. She was ultimately found not guilty of intentionally taking a banned substance.
