WBA lightweight champion of the world Jennifer Han took care of business Saturday night by defeating Colombia\u2019s Paulina Angel in a tough 10-rounder.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her win sets up a likely fight against Albuquerque\u2019s Holly Holm in November, either in the famous Pit or El Paso\u2019s Don Haskins Center, Holm\u2019s\u00a0hometown.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holm, who returned to boxing after a stint in MMA, was ringside for Hans\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Han 10-0 (3 KOs) has seen her life change drastically since winning the title. She is an El Paso police officer, the mother of two, and a world champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably the most stressed I\u2019ve felt. But no matter what, I still get my workouts in and do what I got to do. No excuses. Wouldn\u2019t be able to do what I do without my family,\u201d stated Han\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trainer Lou Burke from Las Cruces sees Han ready to go, but life has changed for her.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s looking good, ready for a tough battle,\u00a0winning the title has created and opened\u00a0 opportunities. The doors of opportunities are now there for her, her part is opening up the doors and taking advantage of the opportunity\u2019s\u201d <\/p>\n
