Alycia Baumgardner’s Belts Are Just the Beginning of Her Rise to Stardom
Right now, a lot of eyes are turning toward Alycia Baumgardner, and not just because of the championship belts wrapped around her waist. As 2025 comes to a close, Baumgardner is stepping into a moment that could redefine her career and, honestly, women’s boxing as a whole. She’s set to appear in the co-main event of Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua, a fight streaming on Netflix to more than 300 million subscribers. That kind of exposure doesn’t come around often, and it’s being treated as a launching pad rather than a finish line.
Most viewers tuning in will be focused on whether Anthony Joshua finally silences Jake Paul. But without even realizing it, many will also be meeting someone Paul himself has called “the new face of women’s boxing.” That label wasn’t rejected by Baumgardner, but it also wasn’t loudly claimed. Instead, it was handled with confidence and restraint. She made it clear she’s here for competition, for challenges, and for big opportunities, while letting her future speak for itself.

There was a brief pause of humility when her name was mentioned alongside legends like Amanda Serrano, Katie Taylor, and Claressa Shields. Respect was clearly shown, and it was understood that those fighters have already carved historic paths. Still, Baumgardner’s trajectory feels different. Her appeal stretches beyond the ring. She’s stylish, charismatic, and effortlessly marketable, looking just as natural on a red carpet as she does under bright arena lights. That crossover appeal is exactly what Most Valuable Promotions has built its reputation on.
MVP previously transformed Amanda Serrano from a highly accomplished but underexposed fighter into a global star. Baumgardner now enters that same system with even more mainstream potential. But beneath the fashion and polish, her boxing credentials are very real. Wins over Terri Harper and Mikaela Mayer, including the fight that unified the super featherweight division, proved she’s one of the most explosive talents in the sport.
Her rise wasn’t without turbulence. In 2023, a positive test for banned substances briefly derailed momentum. However, she maintained her innocence and was cleared of intentional wrongdoing in early 2024. From that point on, her career was put back on track. Titles were defended, a major promotional deal was signed, and she delivered a strong performance at Madison Square Garden on one of boxing’s biggest stages.
Now, Baumgardner stands on the verge of something bigger. The co-main event slot against Leila Beaudoin is more than just another fight. A dominant performance could be the final push into a massive 2026, where main events, global recognition, and true superstardom may no longer be predictions, but expectations.
