Everlast Welcomes Alycia Baumgardner to the Team
Everlast Worldwide, the choice of champions of professional athletes, today announces the exclusive signing of Alycia Baumgardner, the undisputed Super Featherweight World Champion and rising star of women’s boxing.
The journey began humbly with wrestling at the age of four, which led to boxing at the age of eight. Alycia, who came from a family of boxers, started at Fremont Wreckers gym where she learned the Mexican style of fighting from her grandmother, Maria Guzman. Before eventually landing in Detroit, she would go on to train at several other gyms in the region, studying several other styles and skills that fully utilize her speed, power, and unique natural athleticism. This journey helped round out Alycia as one of the most stylistically versatile, dynamic, and dangerous female fighters in the sport and eventually led to her claiming the title of undisputed champion in dominant fashion. The title of undisputed world champion, however, is far from the limit of Alycia’s legacy, who is seeking to define this era of boxing, “We’re going to keep breaking down those doors, breaking down barriers, saying ‘I’m here! I’m here to show the world greatness and to inspire the younger generation.”
Director of Marketing for Everlast, John DeGuzman adds: “Alycia is a true generational talent who transcends the boundaries of sport. As a culture curator and world-class athlete, Alycia’s impact reaches far beyond the ring, inspiring and captivating fans worldwide. This partnership reinforces our mission with athletes in redefining what it means to be a champion, creating a legacy that will resonate for generations to come.”
Baumgardner is scheduled to make her first undisputed world super featherweight title defense at The Masonic Temple Detroit in Detroit, Michigan on July 15, 2023, against the former two-time WBO female junior-welterweight champion Christina Linardatou, who handed Baumgardner the sole loss of her professional career.
