Holly Holm faced Stephanie Han in a rematch last Saturday at the MVPW-03 event in El Paso, Texas. Han was awarded the victory via majority decision after the fight, which featured intense exchanges. Holm expressed strong belief that she deserved the win, stating she dictated the pace and landed more significant strikes. This bout followed their previous match, which ended in a stoppage due to an accidental head clash. Holm's request for a return to boxing last year preceded this rematch against Han, the WBA lightweight champion.
