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 be part of the same fight card as Stephanie Han's rematch with 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 challenge Lourdes Juarez for the WBC 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 knockout power." She also emphasized her ongoing pursuit of the all-time knockout record, underscoring the importance of discipline, execution, and peak performance on fight night. 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 highly publicized 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. It means a lot to be representing Germany on this stage." Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of promoter MVP, praised Serrano, saying, "Amanda continues to set the global standard for the sport, and putting her in a title defense against a dangerous knockout 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."
