Amanda Serrano has officially announced her retirement from professional boxing, capping a historic career with a final title defense on home soil. The Puerto Rican icon, widely regarded as one of the greatest female fighters in history, will defend her unified WBO and WBA featherweight titles against Australian challenger Skye Falzon. The bout, promoted by Most Valuable Promotions as “The Last Walk,” is scheduled for January 9 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, marking a poignant farewell to the sport that defined her life.
The seven-division champion aims for history with a final title defense against Skye Falzon.
Serrano enters her final chapter with a professional record of 50 wins, four losses, and one draw, including 32 victories by knockout.
