Boxing Match: On April 9, Mikaela Mayer defends her WBO and IBF super-featherweight belts against Jennifer Han, a former world champion.
With a dramatic points win over Maiva Hamadouche last November, Mayer added the IBF title to her WBO title, and she will now face Han in a homecoming bout at the Orange County Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California.
In the co-main event, Giovani Santillan of San Diego competes in a 10-round welterweight bout against gritty Colombian Jeovanis Barraza.
“Mikaela is on her approach to entirely unify the division, and she has a major chance to make a statement in front of her home supporters,” Top Rank chairman Bob Arum said.
Mayer said: “Big props to Jennifer Han for taking this fight. Everyone knows I have been in pursuit of undisputed, but since the other two champs are being reserved for each other, I had to look elsewhere to stay busy.
