Amanda Serrano sets January farewell fight against Skye Falzon in Puerto Rico

Amanda Serrano plans to end her professional boxing career against Australia's Skye Falzon on 9 January 2027 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. The seven-weight champion is scheduled to defend her WBA and WBO featherweight titles in a homecoming bout that gives her one more chance to break the women's knockout record.

The event, billed as ‘The Last Walk’, is scheduled for 12 three-minute rounds, the format Serrano has advocated for women to be able to choose. Serrano has 50 wins, four losses and one draw, with 32 knockouts. Falzon has 12 wins and two losses, including seven victories by knockout.

Why Serrano chose San Juan for her final fight

Serrano turned professional in 2009 and has won world titles in seven divisions. BBC Sport says she is the only Puerto Rican boxer, male or female, to have become an undisputed world champion. Her rivalry with Katie Taylor brought the pair to the top of the bill at Madison Square Garden in 2022, the first women to headline a boxing event there. Taylor won all three of their meetings.

The knockout record at stake

Serrano's most recent fight ended in a majority-decision victory over Lucrecia Anabella Manzur, her 50th professional win. BBC Sport reported that the result left her level with Christy Martin's mark of 32 knockouts rather than beyond it. The scheduled fight with Falzon is Serrano's final opportunity to surpass that mark if she retires as planned.

Serrano's previous title fight was broadcast live on TikTok and drew 3.4 million views, according to BBC Sport. The farewell bout is scheduled to stream on DAZN. A kickoff press conference in San Juan and the start of ticket sales are set for 3 November; organisers expect to announce the co-main event and further bouts in the coming weeks, SB Nation reported in a story republished by Yahoo Sports.
