Four women’s world title fights took place on the undercard of Friday night’s Jake Paul v Anthony Joshua event at Miami’s Kaseya Center, with Alycia Baumgardner, Caroline Dubois, Cherneka Johnson and Yokasta Valle all retaining their championships on a card that once again placed women’s boxing on one of the sport’s biggest global stages.
Alycia Baumgardner (17-1, 7 KOs), one of the women’s boxing’s biggest stars, successfully defended her WBO, IBF and WBA junior lightweight titles with a wide unanimous decision over Leila Beaudoin in a contest held under men’s championship rules with 12 rounds of three minutes each.
