Alycia Baumgardner on Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano and Mikaela Mayer: 'Three great fights - let’s get them all!'

Alycia Baumgardner will chase fights with the biggest names in the sport.

Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano and Mikaela Mayer are all targets for the current unified super-featherweight champion.

"Those are all three great fights. Let's get them all," Baumgardner declared.

For the American, those fighters are a higher priority than Britain's unified lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois.

"I am chasing the biggest fights. Dubois is not ready. Is she hungry? Absolutely. Am I ducking smoke? No. I am aligned with the biggest fights possible, and that fight will happen when it happens," Baumgardner said.

First she defends the WBA, WBO and IBF super-featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, live on Your Site from 3am on Saturday morning.

"One thing about Bo is that she's coming to fight. She is a warrior, just as I know she is. But I'm hungrier, and I'm meaner, and I'm just sharper," Baumgardner said.

"I know that I can do three-minute [rounds], so now I want to bring in the other parts of me that I know that I can bring out. And that's just the meaner side, the more aggressive side, the hungrier side, the go-get-it side. That's what I'm aiming for for fight night."

Her challenger Shin intends to wreck Baumgardner's plans. She has her sights set on only one thing.

"Alycia was my goal. She has always been, but now it's time to take her belts for me," Shin said.

"I have a great respect for Baumgardner. She has a great style of boxing. She's a strong fighter, but I believe I have more perseverance, and I will show you."

Watch Alycia Baumgardner vs Bo Mi Re Shin live on Your Site Action and Main Event from 3am on Saturday morning.
