The much-anticipated WBA lightweight title fight between El Paso’s Stephanie Han (12-0, 3 KO’s) and Albuquerque’s Holly Holm (34-3-3) is here.
The rematch of the first fight, which Han won via technical unanimous decision on Jan. 3, 2026, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has created a buzz in El Paso.
The Han vs. Holm fight will be at the El Paso County Coliseum and is officially a sellout. The Han and Holm fight is part of four championship bouts that feature all women. Popular Puerto Rican featherweight champion Amanda Serrano is also featured on the card and will fight Germany’s Cheyenne Hanson in a featherweight title fight.
Here is a look at how to watch the fight if you can’t attend live in person.

ESPN predictions
Christy Martin, former junior middleweight champion and member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame
Han by controversial decision.
Ginny Fuchs, WBC interim junior bantamweight champion
It could go either way, but I think the fight goes to a decision and Han takes the win again.
Cecilia Comunales, former lightweight champion
Han by decision if she follows the same game plan from the first fight and makes those small adjustments — more jab and left hook/cross — to create more separation while protecting herself from headbutts when Holm tries to get inside.
Chris Namus, former junior middleweight champion and current ‘ESPN KnockOut’ boxing analyst
Based on cold, hard logic and what’s already happened, I’d bet it’ll be a unanimous decision for Han. If Holm ends up winning, it won’t be by decision, it’ll be by landing a punch while she’s planted. Neither of them is a power puncher, so that’s a long shot. But maybe if Holm manages to catch Han at just the right moment while she’s planted firmly, Holm could get a knockout. That’s the only way I think she could take the victory. But to me, that option is practically nonexistent, so it’s a unanimous decision for Han.
