We have arrived for fight day as Most Valuable Promotions hosts a women’s championship card, headlined by IBF lightweight champion Elif Nur Turhan (14-0, 8 KOs), defending her title against unified super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner (18-1, 7 KOs), live on ESPN from the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Although Turhan is the champion and the more natural lightweight, oddsmakers have Baumgardner as a 5-1 favorite to become the new IBF lightweight champion. With Amanda Serrano’s retirement fight in January, this is a big moment for Baumgardner, who can slide into the position as one of the top names in women’s boxing.

What’s at stake for Alycia Baumgardner (18-1, 7 KOs) as she challenges women’s lightweight champion Elif Nur Turhan (14-0, 8 KOs) on Sunday at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. The bout will air on ESPN. The bout marks potentially the most compelling matchup of November and the return of North American boxing’s biggest stars, Baumgardner. In barren times for boxing, where matchups are few and far between and jobs even fewer, women’s boxing has been a beautiful reprieve. The fights happen. Let’s get into what you should know.
