Holly Holm Is Back For One More Title Fight
Holly Holm, former boxing and UFC champion and one of the world's most dominant two-sport athletes in combat sports history will return to seek a boxing world
nyfights.comHolly Holm, 44, has re-established her presence in professional boxing after a long period centered on mixed martial arts. She fought Yolanda Vega on June 28, 2025, in a return bout that formed part of her broader plan to pursue a fourth weight-class world title in boxing. More recently, Holm challenged Stephanie Han on May 30, 2026, for the WBA lightweight title at the El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas, where she lost by majority decision.
Holm’s latest result reflects her continued activity in the lightweight division and her willingness to take high-level title opportunities despite a career split between MMA and boxing. The majority decision loss in a WBA title bout highlights how closely contested she remains in championship-level boxing even in her mid-40s. Her return to boxing and pursuit of titles across multiple weight classes underscores a rare multi-discipline career trajectory, with each fight contributing to her standing in the division.
