Dubois eyes Han‑Holm winner as next lightweight foe

Caroline Dubois will sit ringside beside Jake Paul for Stephanie Han's WBA lightweight title defense against Holly Holm this Saturday in El Paso. MVP chief executive Nakisa Bidarian says Dubois is scouting the winner as a potential next opponent after unifying the WBC, WBO and Ring Magazine belts with her April victory over Terri Harper in the sport.

Han enters the bout still smarting from their first encounter, where a clash of heads caused a seventh‑round stoppage and a unanimous technical decision loss after she fell behind on all three judges' cards. Holm, seeking revenge for her first professional defeat, will look to overturn that result in front of a sold‑out crowd of more than 7,500 fans.

Both fighters acknowledge Dubois as a future benchmark; Holm praised her recent unification, calling her a tough statement‑maker, while Dubois remains focused on the upcoming fight rather than naming a next challenger. Should Han retain the belt, Dubois could step into the lightweight division’s top tier, potentially setting up a high‑profile clash that would further shape the undisputed picture.
