Stephanie Han, the El Paso native who holds the WBA women's lightweight world title, is set to face England's Caroline Dubois on February 20, 2027, in a fight that will unify three major world titles. The bout is scheduled for GECU Arena at the Don Haskins Center, with Dubois bringing her unified WBC and WBO lightweight championships into the ring against Han's WBA belt.
The matchup was confirmed by CBS 4/KFOX 14, which reported the fight will unify the WBO, WBC and WBA world titles. The bout is billed as MVPW-09: Dubois vs. Han, a lightweight unification bout set for February 20 in El Paso. A low-confidence search snippet attributed to ESPN similarly describes all three belts being on the line in the February 20 matchup.
Records for both fighters remain undefeated heading into the bout, though the exact numbers differ depending on the source. CBS 4/KFOX 14's reporting lists Han at 13-0 with three knockouts, while MVP's own event page for her most recent fight listed her at 12-0 with three knockouts. Dubois, for her part, carries a record of 14-0-1 with five knockouts and hails from England, where she is already a unified WBC and WBO champion.
A Hometown Champion Riding a Record-Setting Win
Han's path to this unification fight runs through El Paso itself. The fighter, described as a police officer, mother, former beauty queen and world champion, defeated Holly Holm in a rematch at the El Paso County Coliseum, a victory that secured her third successful world-title defense. According to KTSM, Han earned that win by majority decision in the main event of MVPW-03, allowing the El Paso native to successfully defend her title for a third consecutive fight.
That win wasn't dominant on the stat sheet. CompuBox numbers cited by the station showed Holm outlanding Han 107 to 70 in total punches, even though the judges' scorecards favored Han. The fight drew over 7,000 fans and, per MVP's own announcement, generated the highest gate for a combat sports event in the El Paso County Coliseum's history.
Undefeated Champions Collide in a Deep Division
MVP Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian framed the Dubois matchup as a showcase of the sport's top talent, describing Han and Dubois as undefeated champions in a deep and competitive boxing division. Dubois, who defended her titles against Amelia Moore in August 2026, is regarded as one of the sport's most talented young champions. Han said the fight was a dream come true, giving her an opportunity to unify titles and move closer to undisputed status.
Han has invited El Paso residents to attend the fight on Saturday, February 20. GECU Arena at the Don Haskins Center seats 11,892 people but can expand to accommodate as many as 14,000, giving the hometown champion a significantly larger stage than her record-setting night at the Coliseum.
Broadcast Plans and Ticket Availability
The Han-Dubois fight will be broadcast live in UK prime time on Sky Sports and live in the United States on the ESPN app. Fans can sign up now for the MVPW-09: Dubois vs. Han presale, while public ticket sales are set to begin Thursday, December 3, at 10 a.m.
