Holly Holm will get a rematch with Stephanie Han for Han's WBA lightweight title on May 30 at the El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas. The card will also feature a title defense by Puerto Rico's Amanda Serrano, who will face Germany's Cheyenne 'Pepper' Hanson for Serrano's WBO featherweight championship. Two other women's title fights have been added to the stacked card.

Why it matters

This card represents a major showcase for women's professional boxing, with several world title fights featuring top female fighters like Holly Holm, Amanda Serrano, and others. The Holm-Han rematch is particularly significant, as their first fight ended prematurely due to an accidental clash of heads, leaving Han with the title but Holm seeking another opportunity.

The details

The May 30 card will be headlined by the rematch between Albuquerque's Holly Holm (34-3, 9 KOs) and El Paso's Stephanie Han (12-0, 3 KOs) for Han's WBA lightweight (135-pound) title. Their first bout in January in Puerto Rico ended in the seventh round due to an accidental clash of heads, with Han winning by technical decision while leading on the scorecards. The two sides agreed a rematch was appropriate given the circumstances. In the co-main event, Puerto Rico's Amanda Serrano (48-4-1, 31 KOs) will defend her WBO featherweight (126-pound) title against Germany's Cheyenne 'Pepper' Hanson (17-2, 13 KOs). Two more women's world title fights have been added to the card: Mexico's Lourdes Juarez (39-4, 5 KOs) vs. Nicaragua's Yokasta Valle (34-3, 10 KOs) for the WBC light flyweight (108-pound) title, and Canada's Mary Spencer (10-3, 6 KOs) vs. Australia's Desley Robinson (11-3, 4 KOs) for the IBF and WBO middleweight (160-pound) titles.
