Amanda Serrano Set to Defend Titles on Han vs Holm Fight Card in May

Amanda Serrano is scheduled to make her return to the ring on May 30 at the El Paso County Coliseum in Texas, where she will put her WBA and WBO titles on the line against Germany's Cheyenne Hanson. This highly anticipated bout will take place on the same bill as the rematch between Stephanie Han and Holly Holm for the WBA lightweight title. Additionally, Desley Robinson will defend her IBF and WBO middleweight titles against Mary Spencer, while Yokasta Valle will move down to light-flyweight to face Lourdes Juarez for the WBC title. Serrano expressed her respect for her opponent, stating, "I respect every opponent who steps in the ring, and I know Hanson is coming to win and she has KO power." She also emphasized her ongoing pursuit of the all-time knockout record, highlighting the importance of discipline and execution in her performance. Serrano, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, previously fought Katie Taylor in a high-profile trilogy and recently made a successful title defense in a unified featherweight bout against Reina Tellez in Puerto Rico. Hanson, Serrano's upcoming opponent, expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, stating, "I'm really excited and grateful for this fight... I respect my opponent, but I'm coming to make a statement." The event's promoters, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of MVP, praised Serrano as a global standard-setter for the sport and highlighted the strength of the fight card, which promises to be an exciting night of women's boxing.
