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 Cheyenne Hanson from Germany. The fight will be part of the same bill as Stephanie Han's highly anticipated 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 face 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, with knockout power to boot." She also revealed her ongoing pursuit of the all-time knockout record, emphasizing the importance of discipline and execution on fight night. Serrano, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, will be making her presence known in El Paso. Her opponent, Hanson, expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, acknowledging the challenges of training camp but affirming her focus and determination to make a statement. The event's promoters, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, highlighted Serrano's status as a global standard-bearer for the sport, noting that her title defence against Hanson, alongside the Han vs Holm matchup, showcases the current state of women's boxing.
