Amanda Serrano will defend her unified WBO and WBA featherweight world boxing titles against Australia's Skye ⁠Falzon.

Puerto Rico’s seven-division world ‌champion Amanda Serrano will retire after defending her unified featherweight world titles ⁠against Australia’s Skye ⁠Falzon on home soil, in a fight her promoter dubbed “The Last Walk”. Most Valuable Promotions said Serrano, who holds a 50–4–1 record with 32 ⁠knockouts, will defend her unified WBO and WBA featherweight world titles on January 9 at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Puerto Rico’s only undisputed boxing ⁠champion is also gunning for the all-time women’s knockout record, which the 38-year-old jointly shares with American Christy Martin.

The highest-profile rivalry in women’s boxing produced a trilogy of fights which Taylor swept via a majority decision in 2025. A Guinness World Record holder for winning titles across seven weight divisions, ⁠Serrano also became a leading voice for equality in women’s boxing. In 2023, she competed in the first women’s unified ⁠world championship bout over 12 three-minute rounds, later voluntarily ⁠vacating her WBC title rather than abandoning her commitment to equal rules.
