Headlining on TikTok & targeting KO record - Serrano eyes history
Seven-division champion Amanda Serrano talks to BBC Sport about fighting on TikTok, going for the women's boxing knockout record and retirement plans.
Amanda Serrano, a 37-year-old Puerto Rican boxer, aims to make history on Friday by defending her WBA and WBO featherweight titles against Argentina's Lucrecia Manzur. This bout marks the first world championship boxing event streamed live on TikTok, a platform Serrano has rapidly embraced since joining six months ago. If she achieves a 33rd stoppage victory, Serrano would surpass Christy Martin as the women's boxing record holder for the most knockouts.
The fight is Serrano's penultimate in an illustrious career, offering her another opportunity to enhance her legacy in transforming women's boxing. Serrano credits her success to embracing unconventional stages to promote the sport, including TikTok, where she interacts with her growing fan base, affectionately known as her "TikTok family."
