In a manga about boxing, the protagonist is going to fight an american boxer.
His trainer is telling him how he should train:

白人はんは"拳"を鍛えてるだろうがお前は"足"だ。

I don't understand what "…はんは" is. Is it a contraction of "はのは"? If so, what
is its meaning? [Here is the page](https://i.stack.imgur.com/1Lidt.jpg) where
it is taken from. Thank you for your help!

Meaning of ___はんは
はん is an uncommon dialectal name suffix similar to さん. It's widely known as a
Kyoto-ben word. I may be stereotyped, but はん is typically used by
_maiko/geisha_.

The person who said this is not a Kyoto-ben speaker, right? Then I think he
used it as a mild joke. はん has a old-fashioned/pre-modern overtone (Kyoto was
an ancient capital of Japan), so using はん can imply the American opponent is
more advanced.
