Trailblazing featherweight champion Amanda Serrano is officially preparing to bring the curtain down on a legendary career that has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of women’s professional boxing. According to an official press release issued by Most Valuable Promotions, Serrano will step into the ring for the final time on Saturday, January 9, 2027, hosting a historic farewell fight at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.
Boasting an extraordinary professional record of 50 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw, with 32 victories coming by way of knockout, Serrano has established herself over the years as an absolute credit to the sport of boxing. Her upcoming retirement bout is being heavily billed as her ultimate statement regarding equity and parity between male and female fighters. In a powerful nod to gender equality within the sport, the championship contest will be contested over the traditional men’s championship distance of 12 rounds, with each round lasting three full minutes.
During this historic swansong, Serrano will put her prestigious WBO and WBA featherweight world titles on the line against challenger Skye Falzon, who enters the matchup holding a solid record of 12 wins, 2 losses, and 7 knockouts. Boxing enthusiasts around the globe who are unable to attend the monumental event live in San Juan will be able to witness the action unfold, as the entire card is scheduled to stream live worldwide on DAZN.
Serrano reflected deeply on her storied path through the sport, acknowledging the profound impact boxing has had on her life and her loved ones. In a statement released through Most Valuable Promotions, the multi-division champion opened up about the incredible evolution she has witnessed and helped drive forward throughout her career.
“Boxing has been my life, and I never could have imagined the journey it would take me and my family on,” Serrano said. “From the early days when women’s boxing was fighting for recognition in small theater 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, Jordan and I always believed and I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished. But none of it happened alone.”
The journey to the top of the combat sports world has been a collaborative effort, and Serrano was quick to credit the promotional team and individuals who stood by her vision when the odds were heavily stacked against female athletes in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
“Nakisa, Jake and MVP believed in me and in women’s boxing, and together we’ve helped change what’s possible for women in this sport,” Serrano continued. “We’ve fought for respect, equal opportunities, fair pay, and the choice to compete under the same rules as men. There’s still more work to do, and I’ll continue fighting for the next generation long after I hang up my gloves.”
The decision to conclude her storied career in her homeland carries deep emotional significance for the champion, who has never forgotten her roots despite achieving global superstardom and headlining major venues across international stages. Returning to the Coliseo de Puerto Rico allows Serrano to share her final competitive moment with the community that has supported her since the very beginning of her athletic journey.
“To close my career at home in Puerto Rico, in front of the people who have supported me from the beginning, means everything,” Serrano expressed. “On Saturday, January 9, I’m going to give the fans one final night to remember. This is The Last Walk of my boxing career, and I hope everyone who has been part of this journey, from Puerto Rico and New York to fans watching around the world on DAZN, will be there to share it with me.”
Throughout her career, Amanda Serrano has earned a reputation among fighters, pundits, and die-hard supporters as a competitor who consistently delivers thrilling, high-action performances and never cheats her fans out of an entertaining show. True to form, the formidable champion is guaranteed to bring her trademark intensity, heart, and relentless fighting style into the squared circle one final time to kick off the new year in unforgettable fashion.
