<\/p>\n
EL PASO, TEXAS \u2013 MAY 30, 2026 \u2013 Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced that MVPW-03: Han vs. Holm 2 and Serrano vs. Hanson on Saturday, May 30, at the El Paso County Coliseum has generated the highest gate for a combat sports event in the venue\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
MVPW-03 now joins a storied lineage of historic combat sports events at the El Paso County Coliseum, including a young George Foreman\u2019s 1971 TKO victory over Vic Scott early in his professional career, Hall of Famer Salvador S\u00e1nchez\u2019s legendary 1980 WBC featherweight title defense against Juan Laporte and Erik Morales\u2019 first WBC junior featherweight world title victory over Daniel Zaragoza in 1997, a landmark card that featured future boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr. early in his professional career. The venue also hosted Sugar Shane Mosley\u2019s IBF lightweight title defense later that same year, helping cement the Coliseum\u2019s reputation as one of the Southwest\u2019s most historic combat sports venues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Coliseum hosted AEW Dynamite in February 2023, bringing nationally televised professional wrestling back to El Paso, featuring many of the sport\u2019s biggest stars.

Headlined by El Paso native and MVP\u2019s WBA lightweight world champion Stephanie Han (12-0, 3 KOs) and the most decorated two-sport athlete in sports history, Holly Holm (34-3-3, 9 KOs) in a highly anticipated rematch, alongside MVP\u2019s unified featherweight champion Amanda \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Serrano (48-4-1, 31 KOs) defending her world titles against Germany\u2019s top-ranked contender Cheyenne \u201cPepper\u201d Hanson (17-2, 13 KOs), MVPW-03 has established itself as the biggest fight night in El Paso County Coliseum history. The event also features additional world championship bouts, including MVP and Australia\u2019s unified middleweight world champion Desley Robinson (11-3, 4 KOs) vs. Canada\u2019s former world champion Mary Spencer (10-3, 6 KOs) and MVP\u2019s three-division champion Yokasta Valle (34-3, 10 KOs) vs. Mexico\u2019s WBC junior flyweight world champion Lourdes Juarez (39-4, 5 KOs).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a historic moment not only for Most Valuable Promotions, but for El Paso and the local fight fans who have supported this event from day one,\u201d said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of MVP. \u201cThe El Paso County Coliseum has hosted some of the most important names in boxing history, from a young George Foreman and Hall of Famer Salvador S\u00e1nchez, to Erik Morales and Sugar Shane Mosley, and later Floyd Mayweather Jr. For MVPW-03 to set a record gate in a venue with this kind of history is a powerful statement about how far women\u2019s boxing has come. Amanda Serrano, Holly Holm, Stephanie Han, and the extraordinary champions featured on this card have accomplished something unprecedented, and we are proud to deliver what is now the highest-grossing combat sports event ever held at this iconic venue.\u201d<\/p>\n
