Britain's Caroline Dubois will take on American Stephanie Han in a lightweight unification bout on 20 February in America. Dubois, 25, is the reigning WBC and WBO champion and will travel to the Gecu Arena at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas, to face WBA title holder Han.
Londoner Dubois is undefeated as a professional with 14 wins and one draw. She unified her titles in April 2026 with a decision win against Terri Harper. Han, 36, is also undefeated, with 13 wins, and has defended her WBA belt three times, including two victories over former UFC champion Holly Holm in 2026.
"I can't wait to get back in the ring and I can't wait to go into Stephanie Han's hometown and add another world title to my collection," said Dubois. "I respect what she's accomplished, but I'm coming to El Paso to take her title."
Dubois said the bout reflects the goals she has worked toward throughout her career. "I want all the belts, I want the biggest fights, and I want to prove myself against the best," she said.
The fight marks a significant test for both fighters, with two undefeated champions meeting for a unified lightweight title in El Paso.
