On July 15, the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan is set to host a thrilling rematch between super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner and Christina Linardatou. Baumgardner, determined to avenge her only career loss, will defend her undisputed title in front of her family and friends in her hometown.
Baumgardner's journey to this highly anticipated fight has been nothing short of remarkable. After making her professional debut in 2017, she suffered a split decision defeat against Linardatou in 2018. However, she bounced back with eight consecutive victories, including a knockout win over Terri Harper to claim the WBC super featherweight title in 2021.
Following a successful title defense against Edith Soledad Matthysse, Baumgardner faced rival Mikaela Mayer in October 2022. In an intense battle on the undercard of Claressa Shields vs. Savannah Marshall, Baumgardner emerged victorious, adding the IBF and Ring belts to her collection and solidifying her status as the undisputed champion.
Now, Baumgardner returns home to Detroit, ready to showcase her skills in front of a passionate boxing crowd.
Linardatou, on the other hand, is determined to prove herself once again. After defeating Baumgardner in their first encounter, she went on to claim the WBO super lightweight title. While she lost the belt to Katie Taylor in 2019, Linardatou recaptured it in 2020 and recently secured a unanimous decision victory against Aleksandra Vujovic in July 2022.
