Boxer Serrano to hang up gloves in Puerto Rico farewell on January 9

What the report says

Amanda Serrano, Puerto Rico’s seven-division world champion, is set to retire after her next fight, a homecoming title defense against Australia’s Skye Falzon on January 9 at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. The bout will feature Serrano defending her unified WBO and WBA featherweight belts, according to the report from Al Jazeera based on Reuters coverage. Her promoter, Most Valuable Promotions, has billed the event as “The Last Walk.”

Serrano, 38, enters the fight with a 50-4-1 record and 32 knockouts. The article says she is also chasing the all-time women’s knockout record, which she currently shares with Christy Martin. Falzon is also 38 and holds a 12-2 record with seven knockouts.

The piece places Serrano’s farewell in the broader context of a landmark career that helped raise the profile of women’s boxing. It notes her historic role in headlining Madison Square Garden with Katie Taylor in 2022, the first women’s main event at the venue, and her later participation in a 12-round women’s unified world championship bout in 2023. Serrano has also been a visible advocate for equal rules and recognition in the sport. The retirement fight therefore marks both the end of a decorated career and a symbolic moment for women’s boxing in Puerto Rico and beyond.
