Han and Holm Rematch Headlines Sold-Out MVPW-03 in El Paso

The ESPN-televised show signals rising commercial support for women’s boxing.

Overview

  • Stephanie Han will defend her WBA lightweight title against Holly Holm in a rematch that headlines MVPW-03 at the El Paso County Coliseum on Saturday night, May 30.
  • The Jan. 3 meeting ended in a technical decision when a clash of heads opened a cut on Han and the ringside doctor stopped the fight with Han well ahead on the cards and outlanding Holm by a wide margin.
  • Holm has said she made tactical changes in camp and must improve movement and aggression to close the gap that showed in the first fight.
  • Amanda Serrano co-headlines the ESPN card against Cheyenne Hanson and enters the ring seeking to tie or break Christy Martin’s long-standing record for career knockouts.
  • Most Valuable Promotions reported a sellout and the highest gate in El Paso County Coliseum history for the card, which features four women’s world title fights and uses three-minute rounds for key bouts to spotlight evolving standards and commercial pathways in women’s boxing.
