Undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner (15-1, 7 KOs) returns to the ring to face undefeated WBA Interim world champion, Spain’s Jennifer Miranda (12-0, 1 KO) in the co-main event of the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3 trilogy bout, MVP Promotions, and Netflix announced Wednesday.
Baumgardner-Miranda, a 10-round undisputed super featherweight championship fight contested at 130 pounds, will co-headline the first-ever all women’s professional boxing card at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 11(Netflix).
Baumgardner, who recently signed with MVP Promotions, turned professional in 2017, making an immediate impact with a first-round TKO victory. In November 2021, she shocked the boxing world by knocking out Terri Harper in Sheffield, England, to claim the WBC and IBO World Titles. Baumgardner continued her rise, securing wins over Edith Matthysse and Mikaela Mayer in October 2022, adding the WBO and IBF belts to her collection. In February 2023, she became undisputed, defeating Elhem Mekhaled in New York to claim the WBA title. In July 2023, Baumgardner avenged her only career loss with a dominant win over Christina Linardatou in Detroit, successfully defending her undisputed crown. She returned in September 2024 against Delfine Persoon, scoring an early knockdown before an accidental clash of heads led to a no-contest ruling.
“I came to MVP for moments like this—high stakes, global stage, and the chance to show the world who I really am,” said Baumgardner. “Amanda and Katie have done incredible things for women’s boxing, and it’s an honor to share the card with them. But I didn’t come to stand beside greatness—I came to be it. This night, this spotlight—it’s mine. Jennifer Miranda, I hope you’re ready—because I’m the one they warn you about. The pretty face with bad intentions. When that bell rings, it’s not personal, but it is going to hurt. My belts are staying with me. And still.”
Miranda made her professional debut in 2018, quickly establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with, competing for the then-vacant Spanish featherweight title in her second pro fight. She defeated Jessica Sanchez by unanimous decision and successfully defended the title against Vanesa Caballero in 2019, becoming the first woman in history to defend the Spanish national title. Miranda became the WBA’s Gold champion before stepping up to face Panamanian Teresa Almengor in her most recent professional October 2024, coming away victorious with a unanimous decision and becoming the new WBA interim world champion in her sixth title fight out of her twelve pro fights to date.
Alongside boxing, Miranda is also an accomplished actress best known for her role as ‘Arteche’ in Netflix’s global smash-hit series Money Heist.
Additional details, including the undercard, will be announced in the coming weeks.
