Puerto Rico's Amanda Serrano, a world champion in seven weight divisions, will retire from boxing after one more fight on home soil. Her promoter has named the bout "The Last Walk".
Most Valuable Promotions announced that Serrano will defend her unified WBO and WBA featherweight world titles against Australia's Skye Falzon on January 9 at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Serrano carries a record of 50 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw, with 32 knockouts.
At 38, Serrano is also chasing the all-time women's knockout record, which she currently shares with American Christy Martin. She is Puerto Rico's only undisputed boxing champion.
In a statement, Serrano reflected on the path her career has taken. "Boxing has been my life and I never could have imagined the journey it would take me and my family on," she said.
She also recalled how far the women's side of the sport has come. Serrano described the early days, when women's boxing was fighting for recognition in small theatre shows, through to headlining Madison Square Garden in New York and reaching millions of fans on the biggest cards. She said she was proud of helping open doors for the next generation of female fighters, adding that she always believed in what the sport could become.
Serrano made history in 2022 when she and Ireland's Katie Taylor became the first women to headline Madison Square Garden. Their rivalry is considered the highest-profile in women's boxing and produced a trilogy of fights. Taylor won the series, taking the third meeting by majority decision in 2025.
A Guinness World Record holder for winning titles across seven weight divisions, Serrano has also been a leading voice for equality in the women's game. In 2023 she fought in the first women's unified world championship bout contested over 12 three-minute rounds. She later chose to vacate her WBC title rather than abandon her commitment to equal rules.
Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, founders of Most Valuable Promotions, praised the fighter in a joint statement. "'The Last Walk' is a celebration of an athlete who changed the sport forever," they said, adding that the promotion was proud to give Serrano "the farewell she deserves." They said that Saturday, January 9, would mark the end of an extraordinary career inside the ring, but that her legacy would live on through every female fighter who follows her.
Falzon, who is also 38, enters the fight with a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, including seven knockouts.
