Amanda Serrano is set to defend her unified featherweight titles against Lucrecia Manzur on August 21 at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. At 37, Serrano aims to surpass the record of 32 knockouts held by Christy Martin, a milestone she currently shares. This upcoming bout is historically significant as it is scheduled for 12 two-minute rounds, marking the first time a women’s championship fight has utilized this format. Additionally, the event will be broadcast on TikTok Live, a first for professional championship boxing.
Serrano, who holds the WBA, WBO, and Ring Magazine titles, expressed pride in headlining this innovative broadcast, noting the importance of reaching new global audiences. Currently holding a record of 49-4-1, the Puerto Rican champion faces Argentina’s Manzur, who enters the ring with a record of 14-4. Manzur acknowledged Serrano’s status as a sporting icon while maintaining that her primary objective is to secure a victory. The undercard will feature a lightweight contest between American Olympian Jahmal Harvey and Mexico’s Hammet Keb.
