Sports Desk
The fourth belt in the lightweight division will be contested on Sunday in Texas when unbeaten IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan meets American Alycia Baumgardner, according to the event announcement.

Both fighters are signed to Most Valuable Promotions, which makes a future undisputed showdown plausible if they each win their current bouts, potentially leading to a 2027 contest. Dubois, a Briton, hopes to become only the fifth from the UK to achieve undisputed status in the four‑belt era, joining Josh Taylor, Chantelle Cameron, Savannah Marshall and Ellie Scotney, the promotion said.
Baumgardner, who is seven years older than Dubois, is regarded as one of the top pound‑for‑pound boxers. Dubois confronted her rival after her August victory over Amelia Moore and later confirmed on social media that she will be ringside to watch Turhan and Baumgardner.
