Jennifer Han: What I will bring to the table, she has not seen before

Katie Taylor vs. Jennifer Han

Emerald Headingley Stadium in Leeds, England 4/9/21

Jennifer Han is convinced that she can achieve a great victory when she challenges Katie Taylor, for the undisputed lightweight world championship, this Saturday at the Emerald Headingley Stadium in Leeds.

Han (18-3-1 1 knockout) will be back in the ring after giving birth to her second child earlier in the year; and she is confident that she will win the most important victory of her career.

A six-time amateur national champion, she claimed the IBF world title in September 2015, and went on to make four successful defences before taking time to raise her family. Han’s last fight came in February 2020, a unanimous decision win against Jeri Sitzes, on her home territory, at the El Paso County Coliseum, Texas.

The 38-year-old fighter goes to the 135 pounds division for the fight of her life and will do it outside the United States for the second time in her career, after being outscored by a majority decision in South Korea by Ji Hye Woo in March. of 2013; she knows she has to be at her very best to take the titles from one of the best pound-for-pound in the sport. 

“It’s been a long road and I know how things are. The odds are against me. She’s the local girl, I get it. When I went to Korea, I felt like I dominated the fight and I lost, so this time I don’t just have to dominate, but be in command of each round or go for the KO!

“This is huge, and the biggest fight of my life. It doesn`t get more important than Katie Taylor. I am going to fight for all belts, this is the greatest opportunity that God has blessed me with, I have worked all my life for this… and I’m ready! 

“Taylor has incredible strengths, an Olympic gold medallist, undisputed world champion, she has beaten many talented fighters, but they are were not me, exactly what I will bring to the table, she has not seen before.”

The fight, which is promoted by Matchroom Boxing, will be televised on DAZN.
