San Juan:Puerto Rican boxing champion Amanda Serrano is set to retire after defending her unified featherweight world titles against Australia's Skye Falzon on January 9, as announced by her promoter, Most Valuable Promotions.
According to Anadolu Agency – English, the upcoming fight, titled 'The Last Walk,' will be held at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Serrano, aged 38, will defend her World Boxing Organization (WBO) and World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight titles in this match.
Serrano boasts a professional record of 50 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw, and 32 knockouts. She is also targeting the all-time women's knockout record, a title she currently shares with American former boxer Christy Martin. Reflecting on her career, Serrano expressed her gratitude for the journey boxing has taken her and her family on.
She highlighted the evolution of women's boxing from its early days of seeking recognition to becoming a main event at major venues like Madison Square Garden in New York. Serrano emphasized her pride in being part of this transformation and helping pave the way for future female fighters.
In 2022, Serrano made history alongside Ireland's Katie Taylor as the first women boxers to headline Madison Square Garden. Their rivalry became one of the most notable in women's boxing, culminating in a trilogy of fights, with Taylor winning the third encounter by majority decision in 2025. Serrano remains Puerto Rico's only undisputed boxing champion, having won world titles in seven different weight divisions.
