Caroline Dubois to meet Stephanie Han in El Paso lightweight unification on 20 February

Caroline Dubois will take on American Stephanie Han in a lightweight unification bout on 20 February at the Gecu Arena at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. Dubois enters the fight as the reigning WBC and WBO champion while Han is the WBA title holder.

Dubois, 25, represented Great Britain at the 2020 Olympic Games and is unbeaten as a professional with 14 wins and one draw. The Londoner unified her WBC and WBO titles in April 2026 with a decision win against Terri Harper.

Han, 36, is also unbeaten with 13 wins and has defended her WBA belt three times. Her defence record includes 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. "These are the kinds of fights I've been working toward my entire career. I want all the belts, I want the biggest fights, and I want to prove myself against the best."

The fourth belt in the lightweight division will be put on the line on Sunday when undefeated IBF champion Elif Nur Turhan takes on American Alycia Baumgardner in Texas. Baumgardner is stepping up from super-featherweight for that contest.

If both Dubois and Baumgardner win their respective bouts they could meet in an undisputed contest in 2027, and both fighters are signed to Most Valuable Promotions. Dubois is aiming to become just the fifth Briton to earn undisputed status in the four-belt era after Josh Taylor, Chantelle Cameron, Savannah Marshall and Ellie Scotney; seven years Dubois' senior, Baumgardner is regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers, but the Briton was not shy in confronting her rival in the post-fight interview of her August win against Amelia Moore.

Dubois confirmed on social media that she will be ringside to watch Turkey's Turhan and Baumgardner, who is stepping up from super-featherweight.
