ESPN Apr 23, 2026, 07:48 AM ET Alycia Baumgardner retained her IBF, WBA and WBO junior lightweight titles with a unanimous decision win over Bo Mi Re Shin on Friday at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. While the fight was more competitive than the scorecards of 98-92, 98-92 and 99-91 suggested, Baumgardner was never in serious trouble in the 10-round bout, contested with three-minute rounds. "When we talk about legacy and development, these are the types of fights I need," Baumgardner said during the postfight news conference. "They test my skills and my mentality. Physically, I have it, but mentally, it's another level to reach." With the win, Baumgardner moves up in the ESPN pound-for-pound rankings and now shares the No. 6 spot with Mikaela Mayer. She now turns her attention to a bigger challenge -- likely at a higher weight -- as she targets a showdown with IBF, WBA and WBO junior welterweight champion Katie Taylor.…
