Serrano Set to Defend Titles in May Showdown
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. The event will also feature a highly anticipated rematch between Stephanie Han and 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, with her notable KO power." Serrano, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, is also driven to break the all-time knockout record. She previously fought Katie Taylor in a high-profile trilogy and recently made a successful title defense in Puerto Rico. Hanson, representing Germany, is focused on making a statement in the fight, saying, "I'm really excited and grateful for this opportunity... I respect my opponent, but I'm coming to make a statement." The event promises to be an exciting night of women's boxing, with Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of promoter MVP, commenting, "Amanda continues to set the global standard for the sport... This night is going to be absolute fireworks in El Paso."
