Alycia Baumgardner: From Eddie Hearn to Jake Paul, the Mikaela Mayer Beef & Her 135-Pound Title Shot
Q: In that 14 month period, what are you thinking when you hear I got a positive test and how are you navigating that?
Baumgardner says she immediately disputed the result and hired a lawyer and testing specialists, including arranging a hair test. She says she spent over $100,000 of her own money to document that she had fought clean, and was later cleared.

Q: What was the biggest lesson you learned from that loss? And how has that helped you today, present day?

Q: When you see Yoshida, what are some of the first things that jump out at you?
Nicolson describes Yoshida as a high-volume boxer who is not a big puncher. She plans to stay active, use feints and movement, and prevent Yoshida from looking busier in the two-minute rounds.
Marshawn Lynch: The Contract Talk That Almost Got Physical, Retiring & “7 Car Crashes” a Game
Q: How did your approach to retirement change once you fully understood the business side of sports?
I shifted from chasing glory to building a sustainable post-career plan: creating production opportunities, leveraging my brand, and surrounding myself with the right people who can help me monetize what I've built while staying true to who I am.
