Amanda Serrano Set to Defend Titles in May Showdown

Amanda Serrano is scheduled to step back into the ring on May 30, defending her WBA and WBO titles against Cheyenne Hanson of Germany at the El Paso County Coliseum in Texas. This highly anticipated bout will be part of a packed bill 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 move down to light-flyweight to challenge 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. I'm also continuing to hunt the all-time knockout record, so that's always on my mind, but everything starts with discipline, execution, and performing at the highest level on fight night." As the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, Serrano's upcoming fight is highly anticipated. Her opponent, Hanson, is focused on making a statement, saying, "I'm really excited and grateful for this fight. It means a lot to be representing Germany on this stage. Training camp is going to be hard but I'm focused. I respect my opponent, but I'm coming to make a statement." The event promises to be an exciting night of boxing, with Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of promoter MVP, commenting, "Amanda continues to set the global standard for the sport, and putting her in a title defence against a dangerous KO artist like Cheyenne Hanson in a double main event alongside Stephanie Han vs Holly Holm is a powerful statement of where women's boxing is today."
