WBC and WBO champion Caroline Dubois faces WBA titleholder Stephanie Han on Feb. 20 in a three-belt unification bout in El Paso, Texas.

WBC and WBO lightweight champion Caroline Dubois (14-0-1, 5 KOs) will face WBA titleholder Stephanie Han (13-0, 3 KOs) in a three-belt unification bout on Feb. 20. Most Valuable Promotions announced Friday that the 135-pound contest will take place at GECU Arena at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. The event is scheduled to air on ESPN in the United States and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.

Dubois, a London-based fighter, enters the matchup following an April 2026 decision victory over Terri Harper to unify her two current titles. Han, a former El Paso Police Department officer, has successfully defended her WBA belt three times. Her 2026 campaign included two wins over former UFC champion Holly Holm. This February meeting marks Han's second consecutive world title appearance in her hometown.

The winner of the February clash will move closer to undisputed status in the division. The remaining major title, the IBF belt, is currently held by Elif Nur Turhan (14-0, 8 KOs). Turhan is scheduled to defend that title this Sunday in Arlington, Texas, against junior lightweight champion Alycia Baumgardner (18-1, 7 KOs).
