Serrano, Manzur trade knockout talk before featherweight title bout

Serrano will defend the WBO, WBA and Ring Magazine 126-pound titles against Argentina's Manzur

Amanda Serrano, a seven-division champion from Puerto Rico, anticipates a hard-hitting fight against Argentina’s Lucrecia Manzur on Friday. The two will clash in a unified featherweight title bout in Southern California, with Serrano defending her WBO, WBA, and Ring Magazine 126-pound titles. Serrano, with a record of 49-4-1, including 32 knockouts, expects Manzur to come out swinging continuously, a style she welcomed.

Manzur, at 14-4 with seven knockouts, acknowledged Serrano as the favorite but insisted the champion wouldn't secure her 33rd knockout against her. Both women emphasized the importance of supporting each other in growing women's boxing. The fight will be streamed on TikTok, a social media platform Serrano began using six months ago, vowing to give her all in the bout.
