Holly Holm vs. Stephanie Han Odds, Live Stream and KO, Judges' Scorecards Predictions
Holly Holm returns to the boxing ring on Saturday night in an attempt to take Stephanie Han's WBA lightweight title.
Holm is already one of the most accomplished combat athletes of all time. She's the only fighter to win legitimate world titles in both MMA and professional boxing. After a victory over Yolanda Vega in her first boxing fight since 2013, she's ready to step on to the title scene again.
Han, 35, fights with Jake Paul's MVP promotions and sports an undefeated record at 11-0. So while Holm is the much bigger name, Han has the belt and success to make things interesting.
The bout will serve as the co-main event for an Amanda Serrano title fight so there should be plenty of eyes on Holm's return to the sweet science.

Despite being nearly 10 years older than her opponent, it shouldn't be surprising that Holm is considered the favorite. She made her name in the UFC, but she's probably a better boxer than MMA fighter.
Her 34-2-3 mark as a boxer included multiple world title reigns. She never fought at lightweight in her boxing career, though, so this is uncharted waters. The move to the 135-pound class is something that excites her about the fight.
"I'm always looking to do something I haven't done before, or that hasn't been done at all. I want to be a two-sport athlete, but not just that, be a champion at the highest level in those sports," said Holm, per Ryan Songalia of Boxing Scene.
"To be able to come back and get another title in another weight class is something that drives me, and that's my goal. I want something that I know a very small percentage of people in this world can do."
Holm looked like she didn't miss a beat in her return to the ring against Yolanda Vega. Her cerebral boxing style has never really relied on elite athleticism so it would make sense that she would remain formidable later into her career.
Han has an opportunity to make a name for herself. Jake Paul's backing and a title defense against Pauline Angel give her some buzz heading into the fight.
However, this feels like an opportunity for Holm to set up a huge fight with Serrano down the line and it's hard to pick against her.
