Stephanie Han

Bio

Stephanie Han is the southpaw 25-year-old who pushed Holly Holm to the brink in November 2025 and walked out feeling she'd been robbed. The first fight ran on two cards 96-94 to Holly and 95-95 on the third — close enough that the WBA wrote a mandatory rematch into the contract before the result was read out.

Han turned professional in 2021 after a strong amateur career on the US national programme. She runs 12-1 (4 KOs) with her single defeat coming in a domestic ten-rounder she came back from inside six months.

The technical game is the headline. Stephanie is a textbook southpaw — the lead right hand off the jab, the straight left up the middle, head movement that puts her opponents into the ropes without forcing the issue. What she lacked in the first Holly fight was urgency in the championship rounds. She has spent the entire camp working on it.

On May 30, 2026 in El Paso, she gets the chance to take the WBA women's lightweight title from a 44-year-old legend. She's already said the wait has been the hardest part. Now we find out if the rematch is the answer.
