Alycia Baumgardner, the world junior lightweight champion, will face Jennifer Miranda in the chief supporting bout prior to Kate Taylor boxing Amanda Serrano for the third time. The MVP Promotions show  will take place on July 11th at Madison Square Garden in New York City and will be streamed on Netflix. Baumgarnder has added Derrick James, one of the best trainers of the moment, to her team and is undergoing extensive training, as she aims to prove she is the best 130-pounder in the world. Baumgarnder began her championship in 2021 when she faced Terri Harper for the WBC title in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Alycia knocked her opponent out in the fourth round and became champion. Her title unification came one fight later, in that bout she defeated then-WBO and IBF champion Mikaela Mayer. In 2023, she tested positive for a banned performance enhancing substance, mesterolone. The WBC later decided she had not intentionally ingested it.

 

In October of last year, Miranda defeated Panamanian Teresa Almengor by unanimous decision, winning the interim WBA championship. The Spaniard has an undefeated record of 12 victories, one of them by knockout.
