Amanda Serrano set for retirement fight in January

Amanda Serrano, a trailblazing female boxer, is preparing to retire with a final fight scheduled for January 9th. Her promoter, Most Valuable Promotions, announced that the Puerto Rican champion will defend her unified WBO and WBA featherweight titles against Skye Falzon in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Known as one of the most accomplished female boxers of all time, Serrano boasts a 50-4 record and is a seven-division world champion.

She gained international recognition for her trilogy of fights with Katie Taylor, including a historic bout that headlined Madison Square Garden. Serrano expressed her gratitude to Nakisa Bidarian, Jake Paul, and MVP for believing in her and women's boxing. She also highlighted the importance of their fight for respect, equal opportunities, fair pay, and the ability to compete under the same rules as men.

Looking ahead, Serrano aims to continue advocating for the next generation of female fighters even after she hangs up her gloves.
