Amanda Serrano is slated to step back into the ring on May 30 at the El Paso County Coliseum in Texas, where she will once again put her WBA and WBO championships on the line. Her opponent for the night will be Germany's rising contender Cheyenne Hanson, a fighter known for her powerful knockout ability. This bout will share the same event as the much‑anticipated rematch between Stephanie Han and former UFC champion Holly Holm, a clash for the WBA lightweight title.
The evening’s lineup is stacked with additional world‑title stakes. In the middleweight division, Desley Robinson will defend both her IBF and WBO belts against challenger Mary Spencer. Meanwhile, Yokasta Valle will drop back down to light‑flyweight to challenge Lourdes Juárez for the WBC title, adding another championship bout to an already crowded card. Serrano expressed confidence and respect for her opponent in a pre‑fight interview.
"I respect every opponent who steps in the ring, and I know Hanson is coming to win and she has KO power," she said. The Puerto Rican champion also reminded fans of her personal quest: "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." She also paid tribute to the host city and to fellow fighter Stephanie Han. "Stephanie Han is all class, and it is my pleasure to come to her city and make the walk before her on Saturday May 30. See you soon El Paso," Serrano added, underscoring the camaraderie among the event’s headline athletes.
Amanda Serrano holds a historic place in boxing history as the first Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated female boxer ever. Her résumé includes a legendary trilogy with Katie Taylor, one of the sport’s most high‑profile rivalries. Earlier this year, she made a long‑awaited homecoming to Puerto Rico, defending her unified featherweight titles against Reina Tellez in a decisive victory. Cheyenne Hanson, the German challenger, echoed Serrano's enthusiasm.
"I'm really excited and grateful for this fight," Hanson said. "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." Her remarks highlight the international flavor of the card and the high stakes for both fighters.
Beyond the main and co‑main events, the undercard features a diverse slate of talent promoted by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). Mexican contender Yesica Nery Plata, who holds rankings across the WBC, WBO, and WBA, will square off against California's Brook Sibrian in an eight‑round light‑flyweight bout. The fight promises to showcase Plata's speed and technical skill against a tough, seasoned opponent. Boxlab Promotions’ Reina Tellez, fresh from her recent loss to Serrano, will return in a 126‑pound bout, looking to rebound and prove her resilience.
