Amanda Serrano Set to Defend Titles on Han-Holm Fight Card in May
Amanda Serrano is scheduled to make her return to the ring on May 30, defending her WBA and WBO titles against Cheyenne Hanson at the El Paso County Coliseum in Texas. This bout will be part of a stacked card that includes Stephanie Han's rematch against Holly Holm for the WBA lightweight title. Additionally, Desley Robinson will put her IBF and WBO middleweight titles on the line against Mary Spencer, while Yokasta Valle will face Lourdes Juarez for the WBC light-flyweight title. Serrano expressed her respect for her opponent, stating, "I respect every opponent who steps into the ring, and I know Hanson is coming to win and has KO power." She also emphasized her focus on discipline and performing at the highest level. Serrano, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, is coming off a unified featherweight title defense in January. Her opponent, Hanson, said, "I'm really excited and grateful for this fight. It means a lot to be representing Germany on this stage. Training camp will be tough, but I'm focused. I respect my opponent, but I'm coming to make a statement." The event's promoters, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, highlighted the significance of this fight card, saying it showcases the current state of women's boxing.
