I want to face Baumgardner, it will be boxing's next great rivalry - Dubois

If Baumgardner loses to Turhan, it doesn't mean our rivalry is finished before it even really started.
Great fighters lose. Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns all suffered defeats. Mikaela Mayer is another fighter I admire because she's lost, rebuilt and continued challenging herself against the best.
But my priority is becoming undisputed, so if Turhan wins, she's the woman I'll be chasing.
Turhan exploded on to the scene when she stopped Beatriz Ferreira. It was a sensational performance, although I don't think she's looked quite as impressive since.
She is heavy-handed, aggressive and dangerous, particularly early in fights. If Turhan catches Baumgardner early, I think she has the power to knock her out.
