Puerto Rico\u2019s only undisputed boxing \u2060champion is also gunning for the all-time women\u2019s knockout record, which the 38-year-old jointly shares with American Christy Martin.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoxing has been my life and I never could have imagined the journey it would take me and my family on,\u201d Serrano said in a \u200cstatement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the early days when women\u2019s boxing was fighting for recognition in small theatre shows, to headlining Madison Square Garden in New York, reaching millions of fans around the world on the biggest shows, and helping open doors for the next generation of female fighters \u2026 I always believed and I\u2019m proud of everything we\u2019ve accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serrano made history alongside Ireland\u2019s Katie Taylor in 2022 when \u2060they became the first women boxers to headline New \u2060York\u2019s Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

The highest-profile rivalry in women\u2019s boxing produced a trilogy of fights which Taylor swept via a majority decision in 2025.<\/p>\n

A Guinness World Record holder for winning titles across seven weight divisions, \u2060Serrano also became a leading voice for equality in women\u2019s boxing.<\/p>\n

In 2023, she competed in the first women\u2019s unified \u2060world championship bout over 12 three-minute rounds, later voluntarily \u2060vacating her WBC title rather than abandoning her commitment to equal rules.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018The Last Walk\u2019 is a celebration of an athlete who changed the sport forever \u2026 We\u2019re proud to give Amanda the farewell she deserves,\u201d \u200csaid Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, founders of Most Valuable Promotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaturday, January 9, will mark the end of an extraordinary career inside the ring, but Amanda\u2019s legacy \u200cwill \u200clive on through every female fighter who follows in her footsteps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Falzon, who is also 38, holds a 12-2 record with seven knockouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
