Professional career

In October 2021, it was announced that Baumgardner would face WBC and IBO female super featherweight champion Terri Harper on 13 November 2021, Utilita Arena Sheffield. The fight was aired live on DAZN in the US and across the world as part of the undercard for Kiko Martinez vs. Kid Galahad.[3] Baumgardner defeated Harper via a fourth round technical knockout. During the fight she dominated the second round and then caught Harper with a vicious right hand in the fourth, resulting in her going unbalanced with her whole body stiffened, which caused the referee to jump in to stop the bout.[4][2][1] The referee was later praised by boxing pundits and fans for stepping in to stop the fight as Baumgardner had her hand in the air ready to pounce on Harper.[5][6]

In December 2021, she signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing.[7][8] On 14 December 2021, her fourth round knockout against Terri Harper was adjudged as the 2021 Female Knockout of the Year by the World Boxing Council (WBC) as part of the WBC Best of the Year.[9] In January 2021, it was also adjudged as Female Knockout of the Year by BoxingScene.com beating three others including Zulina Muñoz and Daniela Romina Bermúdez.[10]

In April 2022, Matchroom Boxing announced Baumgardner's first fight under the promotion to take place on 16 April against former former unified featherweight world champion Edith Soledad Matthysse at the Manchester Arena.[11][12] The bout was her first title defense. The fight was televised live on DAZN as part of the undercard of Conor Benn's WBA continental title defense bout against Chris van Heerden.[13][12] Baumgardner successfully retained her WBC and IBO titles via unanimous decision (UD), dominiating over ten rounds, with all three judges' scorecards reading 100–90.[14]

In October 2022, Baumgardner cut and outpointed Mikaela Mayer to take the WBC, IBF and WBO titles; scores of two of the cards read 96-95 for Baumgardner, with the third card going to Mayer 97-93.[15] Boxing analysts and former world champions Timothy Bradley and Andre Ward noted Baumgardner's fast start, athletic style, and strong finish that seemingly flustered Mayer.[16] Boxing analyst and boxer Shawn Porter also reported on Baumgardner's noteworthy skillset after the "upset" victory.[17] According to CompuBox stats, Baumgardner outlanded Mayer in total punches 116 to 104, was more efficient in her output landing 35% of punches to Mayer's 29%, and connected with significantly more power shots: Baumgardner landed 82 power shots, nearly doubling Mayer's 43.[15]
