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 compete against Lourdes Juarez for the WBC title. Serrano expressed her respect for her opponent, stating, "I have respect for every opponent who steps into the ring, and I know Hanson is coming to win, with KO power to boot." She also emphasized her ongoing pursuit of the all-time knockout record, stressing that it begins with discipline, execution, and delivering a top-notch 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 high-profile trilogy. In her most recent bout, she successfully defended her unified featherweight title against Reina Tellez in a homecoming event in Puerto Rico. Hanson expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to represent Germany on this stage, saying, "I'm really excited and grateful for this fight... I respect my opponent, but I'm coming to make a statement." 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 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." They also highlighted the return of Desley Robinson and the highly anticipated bout between Lourdes Juarez and Yokasta Valle, promising an explosive night of boxing in El Paso.
