Han became the city’s first world championship fighter, after defeating the the talented Nigerian boxer, Helen Joseph, on September 19th, 2015.
This weekend, Han will look to defend her championship belt, in her own hometown, for the second time in her career. She successfully accomplished her title defense the first time against Calixta Silgado, at Southwest University Park. More than 4,300 Sun City fans celebrated her victory, as if it their own win, because the border-city still had a boxing champion to brag about—a privilege many other places could not be able to relate to.
Now Han will return to the Don Haskins Center on Saturday, October 15, to defend her title again.
