El Paso’s world champion ready to return to the ring

International Boxing Federation’s world female featherweight titleholder Jennifer Han (16-3-1) was ready to defend her title against the mandatory challenger Lizbeth Crespo (12-3) early in December, but the fight was postponed due to an ankle sprain.

The fight was moved to Jan. 27, and was again postponed further due to an opportunity by Primetime to include the fight as the co-main event for El Paso’s first-ever prime-time boxing event on a major television network (FOX), as Devon Alexander faces Victor Ortiz at the Don Haskins Center on Feb. 17.

“The last two months of training have been interesting,” Han said.
