Alycia Baumgardner won a unanimous decision over Elif Nur Turhan after moving up from junior lightweight, becoming a world champion in a second weight division.
Alycia Baumgardner defeated Elif Nur Turhan to win the IBF women’s lightweight title at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, on 8 November 2026. All three judges scored the fight 100–90 for Baumgardner.
Baumgardner entered the fight as a three-belt junior lightweight champion and moved up to the 135-pound lightweight division. Turhan, a Turkish boxer, had won the IBF title from Beatriz Ferreira by fifth-round stoppage in Monte Carlo on 6 December 2025, after knocking Ferreira down in the first and fifth rounds, and defended it twice before facing Baumgardner.
The fight lasted 10 rounds of three minutes each, under what The Guardian described as men’s championship rules.
After the fight, Baumgardner said she wanted to become undisputed champion at lightweight, as she had at 130 pounds, and set her sights on Caroline Dubois. Dubois holds the WBC and WBO lightweight titles.
Dubois is scheduled to face Stephanie Han on 20 February at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas, with the WBA, WBC and WBO lightweight titles at stake. The Guardian said a Dubois victory could set up a four-belt fight with Baumgardner for the undisputed title.
Garcia knocked Delgado down in the sixth round, and all three judges scored the fight 97–92 for the Mexican, who retained the IBF belt and took the WBA title.
