Alycia Baumgardner dismissed claims she fears Caroline Dubois, insisting the Londoner is not yet at her level despite talks of a potential showdown. The American WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring super featherweight champion accused Claressa Shields of jealousy, stating Shields cannot make the biggest fights in her weight class. Baumgardner affirmed she fears no one in boxing, emphasizing confidence in her abilities ahead of her title defense against Elif Nur Turhan on November 8.

She acknowledged Dubois' hunger but likened her to a puppy facing a big dog, suggesting the British fighter must earn her shot through performance. Baumgardner praised Dubois' mindset but stressed she must handle business against Amelia Moore this weekend before any unification talk. She also revealed she would question Dubois about seeking advice from her former trainers, implying a lack of self-confidence.

While eyeing a future clash, Baumgardner warned against overlooking Turhan, a perfect 14-0 puncher, stating any fighter could win on their night. She affirmed respect for Moore's toughness and reiterated that she takes every opponent seriously, refusing to look past current challenges.
