Stephanie Han was born on October 29, 1990, in El Paso, Texas. From an early age, she was immersed in a family renowned for its fighting spirit—her older sister Jennifer and brother Abie both pursued professional boxing. Stephanie began training at just ten years old, under the guidance of her father, Master Han, who embodied intensity and discipline. She initially aspired to follow in her siblings’ footsteps and was even considered an Olympic hopeful before stepping away from the ring around age 21 due to burnout and loss of motivation.
After roughly a decade away, during which she focused on raising a family and building her career as a police officer in El Paso, Stephanie reignited her passion for boxing around age 37. Over the next few years, she returned to the sport with renewed dedication, balancing full-time work in law enforcement with her boxing training. Her determination paid off: she turned professional in 2021 and quickly established an undefeated record, meticulously building her résumé fight by fight.
By February 2025, Stephanie Han reached a career pinnacle—knocking out Hannah Terlep in the first round to claim the vacant WBA lightweight world title. That triumph secured her place among boxing’s elite. Shortly afterward, in June 2025, she signed a promotional contract with Most Valuable Promotions, a high-profile company co-founded by influencer Jake Paul, signaling her rising prominence in the sport. Today, she stands undefeated, a world champion, a dedicated public servant, and a mother—embodying resilience both inside and outside the ring.
