The Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, will host a world title showdown this Saturday as Stephanie Han of the United States defends her WBA women\u2019s lightweight championship against Colombian contender Paulina \u00c1ngel.<\/p>\n
Han (7-1-2), born in El Paso, Texas, is known for her relentless pressure and steady work rate. At 34, she combines her experience inside the ring with a career outside of it\u2014serving as a police officer. She captured the WBA lightweight world title in February 2025 in spectacular fashion, blasting out Hannah Terlep with a straight right hand just 1 minute and 59 seconds into the opening round at the El Paso Coliseum. That emphatic knockout performance turned heads across the division.<\/p>\n
\u00c1ngel (10-1-2), 24, arrives from Medell\u00edn, Colombia, as the official challenger and riding a six-fight unbeaten streak. The young contender has built her reputation on the Colombian circuit with an aggressive style, sharp mobility, and crisp short-range combinations. Her r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes three knockouts and two draws, and she\u2019s eager to prove she belongs on the international stage.<\/p>\n
Her most recent outing came on February 28, 2025, when she scored a unanimous decision win over compatriot Johen Paola Gonz\u00e1lez at the Miguel \u201cHappy\u201d Lora Coliseum in Monter\u00eda. That victory showcased her tactical discipline, distance control, and stamina, strengthening her case as a world-class contender.<\/p>\n
The matchup promises a clash of styles: Han\u2019s volume, poise, and experience versus \u00c1ngel\u2019s aggression, high pace, and hunger for glory. Both enter motivated, knowing a win could define the trajectory of their careers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, will host a world title showdown this Saturday as Stephanie Han…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-82646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
