Unbeaten champions clash in El Paso as Dubois targets WBA belt to complete historic trilogy.
Dubois, a Most Valuable Promotion fighter, enters the ring as an unbeaten champion and one of the most accomplished young talents in women’s boxing. Facing her is Han, who holds the WBA lightweight title and remains undefeated in her own right. This matchup represents a critical juncture for both athletes, as the winner will consolidate their status as the undisputed pound-for-pound heavyweight of the lightweight division. The geographic shift to Texas adds a layer of psychological pressure on Dubois, who must navigate a hostile home crowd to secure her objective.
The stakes are defined by Dubois’s clear intent to complete her collection of major world titles. “I’m coming to take her title and show everyone why I’m the best lightweight in the world,” Dubois stated, emphasizing her confidence in her superior skill set. She further expressed eagerness to return to the ring, noting, “I can’t wait to go into Stephanie Han’s hometown and add another world title to my collection.” With three major belts on the line, this bout promises to be a defining moment in the current era of women’s boxing.
