Alycia Baumgardner, the unified WBO, WBA, and IBF super featherweight world champion, will move up to the lightweight division to challenge undefeated IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan on November 8 at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. The bout, headlining MVPW-07, sees Baumgardner stepping up five pounds to 135lbs in pursuit of becoming a two-weight world champion.
