That said, when it comes to a boxing rivalry, there is often no time like the present. If the time feels right, it is right, and Baumgardner-Dubois would appear to possess all the ingredients. In Baumgardner, you have the brash American whose ego grew wings when she defeated her first proper rival, Mikaela Mayer, in a nasty, spiteful grudge match in 2022. In Dubois, meanwhile, you have the young upstart from the UK, someone whose brother, Daniel, briefly held the IBF heavyweight title but whose own career has the potential to be even better.
