Alycia Baumgardner, 15-1-0 (7KO), became the undisputed female
super featherweight champion on February 4, 2023, after unifying
the WBC, IBO, WBO, IBF, and The Ring titles.
Baumgardner, 49-3-0 (19KO) said, “This fight is more than just a
return to the ring for me, it’s a statement. Headlining the
first all-women’s card is an honor, and I’m ready to show the
world the strength, resilience and skill that women in boxing
bring to the sport.”
Persoon, a seasoned fighter from Belgium, boasts a distinguished
career, winning several world titles in that has included the
WBC World lightweight title, defending it many times, the WBA
Gold World light title, IBF World Lightweight champion, and
more. Known for her perseverance and elite athleticism. When

listed in our special segment, “Women Cops Who Box.”
“It is an honor and privilege to be spearheading a movement that
is long overdue,” said John Brenkus, CEO and Founder of
Brinx.TV. “Women in sports have been underpaid for far too long,
and Alycia Baumgardner is leading the charge not only for female
boxers but for women in all sports globally.”
