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, competing at the El Paso County Coliseum in Texas. Her title defence will see her face off against Germany's Cheyenne Hanson for the WBA and WBO titles, sharing the bill with the 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 move down to light-flyweight to challenge Lourdes Juarez for the WBC title. Serrano expressed her respect for her opponent, acknowledging Hanson's knockout power. She also stated her ongoing pursuit of the all-time knockout record, emphasizing the importance of discipline and execution. Serrano will be fighting on the same card as Stephanie Han, whom she praises as a class act. As the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, Serrano is set to make a significant impact. Her previous bouts include a high-profile trilogy with Katie Taylor, and she recently made a successful title defence in Puerto Rico against Reina Tellez. Hanson expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, stating that she is focused on making a statement in the ring. The event's promoters, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, highlighted Serrano's status as a global standard-bearer for the sport, and expressed their enthusiasm for the double main event.
