El Paso Coliseum sells out as Han defends WBA title against Holm
Stephanie Han faces Holly Holm in a rematch for the WBA lightweight belt, joined by Amanda Serrano and other top contenders in a fully booked event on Saturday night.
The El Paso County Coliseum is officially sold out for Saturday’s boxing card, which centres on Stephanie Han’s defence of her WBA lightweight title against Holly Holm. The event, scheduled for May 30, 2026, marks the second meeting between the two fighters, with Han holding the advantage after winning their January bout via technical unanimous decision in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Han, representing El Paso with an undefeated record of 12-0 and three knockouts, is the clear favourite for the rematch. Betting markets from FanDuel list her at minus-600 odds, reflecting her status as the dominant force in the division. Holm, from Albuquerque, brings a seasoned record of 34-3-3 to the ring, seeking to overturn the previous verdict in front of a home crowd.
The main event is part of a broader card featuring four all-women championship bouts, underscoring the growing institutional support for women’s professional boxing. The lineup includes Lourdes Juarez defending the WBC junior flyweight title against Yokasta Valle, and Desley Robinson challenging Mary Spencer for the unified world middleweight championship.
A significant portion of the card’s attention is also directed toward the unified featherweight championship bout between Puerto Rican champion Amanda Serrano and Germany’s Cheyenne Hanson. Serrano, holding a record of 48-4-1 with 31 knockouts, is listed as a minus-5000 favourite against Hanson, who enters with a 17-2 record.
Television coverage of the main card begins at 7 p.m. Mountain Time on ESPN, with preliminary bouts streaming on ESPN+ starting at 3:15 p.m. MT. The event’s rapid sell-out, confirmed by MVP on Thursday night, highlights the high demand for this specific configuration of elite female fighters in the region.
