Amanda Serrano Set to Defend Titles Against Cheyenne Hanson in May
Amanda Serrano is scheduled to make her return to the ring on May 30, defending her WBA and WBO titles against Germany's Cheyenne Hanson at the El Paso County Coliseum in Texas. This highly anticipated bout will take place on the same bill as Stephanie Han's rematch with 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 back to light-flyweight to compete against 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 ongoing pursuit of the all-time knockout record, highlighting the importance of discipline and execution. Serrano, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated fighter in women's boxing history, will be looking to continue her winning streak. Her opponent, Cheyenne Hanson, expressed her excitement and gratitude for the fight, stating, "I'm really excited and grateful for this fight. It means a lot to be representing Germany on this stage. Training camp is going to be hard but I'm focused. 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, 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."
