Alycia Baumgardner is quickly becoming one of the biggest names in women's boxing and her last match-up against Christina Linardatou showed her quality.

Baumgardner became the undisputed women's champion at super featherweight in her previous outing after adding the vacant WBA belt to her collection after beating Elhem Mekhaled. 

DAZN takes a look at the career of Baumgardner below. 

What is Alycia Baumgardner's professional record? 

Alycia Baumgardner boasts a 15-1 professional record with seven of those wins coming by way of knockout. 

Championships

Alycia Baumgardner's first world title success came in November 2021 when she stopped Terri Harper to claim the WBC women's super featherweight belt. 

Since that win, Baumgardner has spent the last year or so collecting all the belts at 130 pounds and this culminated in her becoming the undisputed champion earlier this year. 

Biggest Wins

Baumgardner produces shock stoppage against Harper; November 13, 2021

Fighting in front of a pro-Terri Harper crowd, it would have been no surprise if Alycia Baumgardner buckled under the pressure and was beaten by the British fighter. 

However, Baumgardner came to fight and her fast pace proved a problem for Harper early on. 

The American had already inflicted damage on Harper in the second, but waited until the fourth round to land the right hand which stopped Harper on her feet to become the new WBC women's super featherweight champion. 

Baumgardner edges past Mayer to become unified champion; October 15, 2022

Alycia Baumgardner returned to British shores once more in the hope of adding more world titles to her collection when she faced WBO and IBF women's super featherweight champion Mikaela Mayer. 

As was evident in the build up, there was bad blood between the these two fighters and the fight turned out to be a close and tense affair. 

Baumgardner was awarded the win via a split decision, but it has been a result disputed by fans with many wanting to see a rematch between the pair in the future. 

Undisputed glory for Baumgardner in New York; February 4, 2023

After beating Mikaela Mayer, there was just one more belt Alycia Baumgardner needed to become the undisputed champion and that was the vacant WBA title. 

Standing in her way was Elhem Mekhaled and just like her fights with Terri Harper and Mikaela Mayer, Baumgardner showcased her aggressive fighting style with two knockdowns in the third.

There was a late resurgence from Mekhaled who appeared to stun Baumgardner, but this was not enough to sway the judges' scorecards in her favour with Baumgardner declared the winner via unanimous decision and as a result the new undisputed champion at super featherweight.
