Baumgardner will move up from 130 pounds to challenge Elif Nur Turhan for her IBF lightweight title on Sunday. The bout is 10 three-minute rounds.

Baumgardner (18-1, 7 KOs), The Ring’s No. 10 pound-for-pound, was the undisputed champion at 130 before vacating the WBC title in September 2025. The 32-year-old from Fremont, Ohio, is coming off a unanimous decision over Bo Mi Re Shin on April 17.

Turhan (14-0, 8 KOs), of Istanbul, beat Gabriela Tellez by unanimous decision on June 13 in her previous outing. Prior to going the distance in her last two fights, Turhan, 31, had won four straight fights by knockout, including a fifth-round stoppage of Beatriz Ferreira in December 2025 to win the IBF belt.

Turhan is The Ring’s No. 1 contender at lightweight for Caroline Dubois’ title.

Turhan: "Whether it's Alycia or any other fighter, if they prepared hard for me, I'm ready to fight them, and I'm ready to go."
