Core Event – The Final Bout
Amanda Serrano, the seven-division world champion, will defend her unified WBA and WBO feather-weight titles against Australia’s Skye Falzon at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan on January 9, 2027.

Background & Context
Serrano turned professional in 2009, winning world titles in seven weight classes and earning a Guinness World Record. She headlined Madison Square Garden with Katie Taylor in 2022 and completed a trilogy with Taylor in 2025. She has championed equal-round rules, fighting under twelve three-minute rounds in 2023 and vacating a WBC feather-weight belt rather than revert to ten-round, two-minute fights.
Falzon, a 37-year-old Australian contender, entered the bout with a 12-2 record (seven knockouts). She began boxing at 24, logged 65 amateur fights, represented Malta at the European Games, and now runs a gym and recovery centre in Batemans Bay.

Why It Matters
Serrano’s retirement fight highlights a decade-long push for gender parity in boxing. By insisting on the twelve-round, three-minute format and relinquishing a title rather than compromise, she set a precedent that may influence future championship standards. A knockout would cement her as the sole holder of the women’s KO record and underscore the competitive legitimacy of women’s boxing under men’s rules.
