Amanda Serrano Set to Defend Titles 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 card 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 challenge Lourdes Juarez for the WBC title. Serrano expressed her respect for her opponent, stating, "I respect every opponent who steps in the ring, and I know Hanson is coming to win and she has KO power." She also emphasized her focus on discipline and execution, saying, "Everything starts with discipline, execution, and performing at the highest level on fight night." Serrano, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, is known for her thrilling trilogy with Katie Taylor. In her most recent bout, she successfully defended her unified featherweight title against Reina Tellez in Puerto Rico. Hanson, her upcoming opponent, expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, saying, "I'm really excited and grateful for this fight... I respect my opponent, but I'm coming to make a statement." The event promises to be an exciting night of boxing, with Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of promoter MVP, stating, "Amanda continues to set the global standard for the sport... This night is going to be absolute fireworks in El Paso."
