Stephanie Han has called out Katie Taylor as her preferred next opponent. The lightweight told BBC Sport that the undisputed champion sits at the top of her wish list.

What Stephanie Han said

Han competes at lightweight, the division Taylor has dominated for years. Taylor holds multiple world titles and remains the biggest draw in women's boxing. A fight between the two would need Taylor to commit to another defence at 135 pounds.

What it moves

Han's public request puts pressure on Taylor's team to respond. Taylor has fought across two weight classes in recent years, leaving potential challengers to wait for clarity on her next move. The call-out sets up a clear path forward if Taylor opts to stay at lightweight.
