Boxing: Amanda Serrano Sets Final Fight for January in San Juan

Amanda Serrano will stop fighting after one final bout on January 9 in her home country of Puerto Rico. The 38-year-old world champion will defend her unified WBO and WBA featherweight titles against Australia’s Skye Falzon at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.

Promoter Most Valuable Promotions named the event “The Last Walk.” The company, founded by Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, described the date as the end of an extraordinary career. They stated that the promotion was proud to give Serrano the farewell she deserved.

Serrano enters the fight with a professional record of 50 wins, four losses, and one draw. She has secured 32 of those victories by knockout. At the age of 38, she is tied with American Christy Martin for the all-time women’s knockout record. She remains Puerto Rico’s only undisputed boxing champion.

Her opponent, Skye Falzon, is also 38 years old. Falzon holds a record of 12 wins and two losses, with seven of her victories coming by knockout.

Serrano holds a Guinness World Record for winning titles across seven weight divisions. In 2022, she and Ireland’s Katie Taylor became the first women to headline Madison Square Garden. Their rivalry produced three fights, with Taylor winning the third meeting by majority decision in 2025. Serrano also fought in the first women’s unified world championship bout over 12 three-minute rounds in 2023. She later vacated her WBC title to maintain her commitment to equal rules in the sport.

In a statement, Serrano reflected on her career path. “Boxing has been my life and I never could have imagined the journey it would take me and my family on,” she said. She noted that the sport has grown from small theatre shows to headlining major venues in New York. She expressed pride in helping open doors for the next generation of female fighters.

The final bout is scheduled for Saturday, January 9, at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico.
