Amanda Serrano Set to Defend Titles on Han-Holm Fight Card in May

Amanda Serrano is scheduled to 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 Stephanie Han's rematch against 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 back 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 and has KO power.' She also emphasized her ongoing pursuit of the all-time knockout record, saying, 'I'm also continuing to hunt the all-time knockout record, so that's always on my mind, but everything starts with discipline, execution, and performing at the highest level on fight night.' Serrano, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and 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 fight in Puerto Rico. Hanson expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, saying, '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.' 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 exciting matchups on the card, including the return of Desley Robinson and the Lourdes Juarez vs Yokasta Valle fight, promising 'absolute fireworks' in El Paso.
