Amanda Serrano Announces Retirement Fight Against Skye Falzon in San Juan
Puerto Rican boxing star Amanda Serrano will end her historic professional career on January 9, 2027, challenging Australia’s Skye Falzon for the unified WBO and WBA featherweight world titles at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. The seven-division world champion, who brings a 50-4-1 record with 32 knockouts into her final bout, announced the event alongside Most Valuable Promotions founders Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul during a press conference in San Juan.
The retirement card, dubbed “The Last Walk,” will be broadcast live on DAZN. Tickets for the homecoming event went on sale on November 4 at Ticketera.com. Unlike traditional women’s boxing bouts scheduled for ten two-minute rounds, this championship match will follow men’s rules with 12 three-minute rounds, a format Serrano previously contested against Danila Ramos in 2023.

Chasing Knockout History at Coliseo de Puerto Rico
Serrano enters her farewell appearance tied with American Christy Martin for the most knockout wins in women’s boxing history, with 32. While she acknowledged that breaking the record outright would be the “cherry on top,” her primary focus remains on enjoying every minute of her final performance on home soil. The 38-year-old fighter stated that her decision to retire boiled down to timing and a long-held desire to finish her career where her journey began.
Falzon holds a 12-2 record with seven knockouts and secured her spot in the championship bout following a victory over Monika Singh to claim the WBA Oceania and WBA Asia featherweight titles. Reflecting on the matchup, Falzon noted that she is not traveling to Puerto Rico merely to participate in a farewell ceremony. Serrano welcomed that competitive resolve, emphasizing her preference for facing the toughest opposition available.
Building a Legacy of Equality in Professional Boxing
Over her career, Serrano became the first and only Puerto Rican boxer, male or female, to capture an undisputed world championship. Her profile expanded significantly after she became the first fighter to sign with Most Valuable Promotions in 2021. Alongside promotional backing, she helped reshape the sport by headlining Madison Square Garden alongside Ireland’s Katie Taylor in 2022, marking the first time women headlined a boxing event at the iconic New York venue.
Bidarian and Paul described Serrano as “The MOAT” — the most accomplished, watched, and influential female boxer in the sport’s history. Throughout her career, Serrano has consistently advocated for equal pay, fair rules, and respect for female athletes. Even after stepping away from active competition, she intends to maintain her advocacy for the next generation of fighters.
