Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner captured the IBF lightweight world title with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Elif Nur Turhan at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, on November 9, 2026, becoming a two-division world champion.
- Ramla Ali’s split decision win over Mikiah Kreps shifts the super bantamweight divisional hierarchy, handing Kreps her first career defeat and altering future title defense odds.
- Irma Garcia’s unified title victory over Nataly Delgado establishes her as the premier operator at 115 pounds, changing super flyweight betting and championship standings.
Stepping up from super featherweight where she reigned as undisputed champion, Baumgardner (19-1, 7 KOs) utilized superior footwork, a sharp jab, and crisp straight punches to dictate the distance against Turkey’s previously undefeated Elif Nur Turhan (14-1, 8 KOs). FightNews reported that Baumgardner established control from the opening bell, consistently beating Turhan to the punch.

The bout featured a dramatic near-finish in the third round when Baumgardner landed a clean series of shots that hurt Turhan. However, confusion ensued when the 10-second clapper was mistaken for the final bell, briefly halting the action and denying Baumgardner additional time to capitalize on her momentum.
