Serrano to end career in Puerto Rico in January
Seven-weight world champion Amanda Serrano will face Australia's Skye Falzon in Puerto Rico on 9 January in the final fight of her illustrious professional boxing career.
The 38-year-old will defend her WBA and WBO featherweight titles on home soil at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.
Serrano, who boasts a fight history of 50 wins, four defeats and one draw, will be seeking to break the all-time women's knockout record in her farewell bout.
"Boxing has been my life, and I never could have imagined the journey it would take me and my family on," said Serrano, who turned professional in 2009.
"To close my career at home in Puerto Rico, in front of the people who have supported me from the beginning, means everything. I'm going to give the fans one final night to remember."
Serrano's farewell bout, labelled The Last Walk, will be contested over 12 three-minute rounds against 37-year-old Falzon, who has won 12 of her 14 professional fights, including seven by knockout.
In her previous outing, Serrano edged a majority decision victory over Argentina's Lucrecia Manzur to claim her 50th professional win.
The contest was the first world title fight to be broadcast live on TikTok, generating 3.4m views.
But Serrano was unable to secure the knockout she needed to surpass American boxing pioneer Christy Martin's record of 32, leaving her with one final opportunity to make history.
'I'll continue fighting for the next generation'
Serrano is the only Puerto Rican boxer, male or female, to become an undisputed world champion.
Her profile reached new heights after she became the first fighter to sign with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) in 2021.
Founded by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, MVP has invested heavily in women's boxing in recent years.
"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 said.
"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."
Serrano's career will perhaps be best remembered for her historic rivalry with Ireland's Katie Taylor, who won all three of their encounters.
The pair became the first women to headline a boxing event at the iconic Madison Square Garden in 2022, before meeting again in a hugely watched rematch on Netflix in 2024.
Taylor completed a clean sweep of the trilogy in July 2025, headlining an all-women's card in New York, before retiring in September this year following victory over Flora Pili at Dublin's Croke Park.
Paul and Bidarian said Serrano had "changed the entire landscape of women's boxing".
"Amanda Serrano is the MOAT. The Most Of All Time. The most accomplished female boxer of all time, the most watched, the most paid, and one of the most influential athletes this sport has ever seen," they added.
