Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner is stepping back into the spotlight—and this time, she’s making history. On December 19, 2025, the unified WBA, WBO, and IBF super-featherweight champion will defend her titles against rising Canadian contender Leila Beaudoin at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The fight lands on one of boxing’s biggest stages as the co-main event to the blockbuster Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua card streaming globally on Netflix.

And while the heavyweights will bring spectacle, it’s the women who may steal the show.


Alycia Baumgardner: A Champion Pushing Boundaries

Baumgardner (16–1, 7 KOs) isn’t just defending belts—she’s redefining the sport. In a historic move, she chose to fight 12 rounds of three minutes, matching the championship format used in men’s boxing. When the WBC refused to sanction the bout under those conditions, Baumgardner stood firm, vacating the title to push the sport forward.

Her December 19 defense will now be:

  • For the WBA, WBO & IBF titles
  • Fought under 12×3-minute championship rounds
  • On a global platform with millions watching

This isn’t only a title fight. It’s a stand for equality in boxing.


Leila Beaudoin: The Underdog With Upset Intentions

Leila Beaudoin (13–1, 2 KOs) enters the ring as the WBO International champion and one of Canada’s fastest-rising stars. She turned heads in June by stopping former interim world champion Elhem Mekhaled, proving she’s not intimidated by bigger names or brighter lights.

She’s hungry. She’s confident. And she believes she can shock the world.


A Fight That Survived the Shake-Up

Originally set for November 14 on the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis undercard, the bout was postponed after the event collapsed due to Davis’ legal issues. Instead of fading away, Baumgardner vs. Beaudoin returned stronger—upgraded to the new December 19 mega-card.

Same venue. Bigger spotlight. Higher stakes.


Why December 19 Matters So Much

A Statement for Women’s Boxing

Baumgardner is continuing the movement started by Amanda Serrano—demanding equal round length, equal intensity, and equal respect.

A Global Moment

With Netflix broadcasting the show worldwide, more people than ever will witness elite women’s boxing under true championship conditions.

Legacy on the Line

For Baumgardner, victory solidifies her place among the sport’s pound-for-pound best. For Beaudoin, an upset could instantly crown her as a three-belt queen.


Miami Will Be Electric

The December 19 showdown isn’t just a title fight—it’s a turning point. It’s the collision of a champion pushing for change and a challenger chasing destiny. And with the eyes of the boxing world fixed on Miami, this could be the night that reshapes the conversation around women’s boxing for years to come.

Baumgardner vs. Beaudoin.
December 19.
History in the making.
