Alycia Baumgardner

Alycia Baumgardner (born 24 May 1994) is an American professional boxer. She held the WBC and IBO female super featherweight titles from 2021 to 2025, and the WBO, IBF, and The Ring female super featherweight titles since 2022.

She is from Fremont, Ohio and now lives in Dallas, Texas. Baumgardner's mother is of German, Japanese and Korean descent, while her father is African-American.

Baumgardner made her professional debut against Britain Hart on March 4, 2017. She won the fight by a first-round technical knockout. Baumgardner notched her second win as a professional 22 days later, needing just 63 seconds to stop Wendy Toney. Her remaining two fights of the year ended just as fast, as she stopped Lashanda Tabron in 57 seconds on June 30, 2017, and Brittney Artis in 36 seconds on August 25, 2017.

Baumgardner faced Nydia Feliciano for the vacant WBC super featherweight title on February 10, 2018. She captured her first professional championship by unanimous decision. Baumgardner suffered her first loss as a professional in her first WBC International title defense, at the hands of Christina Linardatou on July 28, 2018.

Baumgardner faced Gabriella Mezei on May 10, 2019. She won the fight by a first-round technical knockout, her first stoppage victory in nearly two years. Baumgardner next faced Annette Pabello on November 2, 2019. She won the fight by unanimous decision. Baumgardner was then booked to face Cristina Del Valle Pacheco on December 14, 2019. She won the fight by another first-round technical knockout.

In October 2021, it was announced that Baumgardner would face WBC and IBO female super featherweight champion Terri Harper on 13 November 2021, Utilita Arena Sheffield. The fight was aired live on DAZN in the US and across the world as part of the undercard for Kiko Martinez vs. Kid Galahad. Baumgardner defeated Harper via a fourth round technical knockout. During the fight she dominated the second round and then caught Harper with a vicious right hand in the fourth, resulting in her going unbalanced with her whole body stiffened, which caused the referee to jump in to stop the bout. The referee was later praised by boxing pundits and fans for stepping in to stop the fight as Baumgardner had her hand in the air ready to pounce on Harper.

In December 2021, she signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing. On 14 December 2021, her fourth round knockout against Terri Harper was adjudged as the 2021 Female Knockout of the Year by the World Boxing Council (WBC) as part of the WBC Best of the Year. In January 2021, it was also adjudged as Female Knockout of the Year by BoxingScene.com beating three others including Zulina Muñoz and Daniela Romina Bermúdez.

In April 2022, Matchroom Boxing announced Baumgardner's first fight under the promotion to take place on 16 April against former unified featherweight world champion Edith Soledad Matthysse at the Manchester Arena. The bout was her first title defense. The fight was televised live on DAZN as part of the undercard of Conor Benn's WBA continental title defense bout against Chris van Heerden. Baumgardner successfully retained her WBC and IBO titles via unanimous decision (UD), dominiating over ten rounds, with all three judges' scorecards reading 100–90.
