Puerto Rico's seven-division world champion Amanda Serrano will defend her unified WBO and WBA featherweight titles against Australia's Skye Falzon in San Juan on 9 January, in what promoters have dubbed "The Last Walk" as Serrano prepares to retire.
The 38-year-old, who holds a 50-4-1 record with 32 knockouts, said she wants to be remembered as a "game-changer" and hopes to chase the women's knockout record she jointly shares with Christy Martin.
Serrano insisted on fighting 12 three-minute rounds for her final bout, matching the men's championship distance, a format she previously made history with in 2023 against Danila Ramos.
Falzon, also 38, holds a 12-2 record with seven knockouts and described the opportunity as a dream come true, vowing to write her own history.
Serrano, the first Puerto Rican boxer to become undisputed world champion and part of the first female headline at Madison Square Garden in 2022 alongside Katie Taylor, said her decision to retire was simply down to time and that she always knew she would hang up her gloves in Puerto Rico.
