In 2018, young Alycia Baumgardner faced Christina Linardatou, with the latter emerging victorious. Now Baumgardner and Linardatou face off again, this time for the status of undisputed super featherweight champion.
Will history repeat itself on July 15, or will Baumgardner, the Champion, emerge victorious at the Masonic Temple in Detroit? The fight and undercard action will be broadcast on DAZN.
Since losing to Linardatou, Baumgardner has won eight straight games, pushing their opponents to become the undisputed champion. She stopped Terri Harper, outperformed her competitor Mikaela Mayer and overtook Elhem Mekhaled to reach the top of the mountain.

Linardatou has lost 4-1 since the Baumgardner fight, the only loss being Katie Taylor in 2019. Linardatou, a WBO super lightweight champion of the world, was out of action due to the birth of her child. An attempted argument with Mayer failed when she failed an eye exam. Now healthy and motivated, Linardatou is aiming for the undisputed title.
