Unified super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner defends her WBA, IBF, and WBO titles against Leila Beaudoin, as you can see how the fight played out live. 

The co-main event represents a historic moment for women’s boxing, as both fighters have agreed to compete under the “men’s championship ruleset” of 12 rounds at three minutes each. Baumgardner made the bold decision to vacate her WBC title after the sanctioning body refused to authorize the three-minute round format for women.

Alycia returns to the ring following a unanimous decision win over Jennifer Miranda in July. Beaudoin has won four straight fights. In June, she secured a sixth-round TKO victory over former champion Elhem Mekhaled. For Beaudoin, it’s a chance to pull off one of the biggest upsets in Canadian boxing history.
