Amanda Serrano’s bid to become the record-holder for knockouts in women’s boxing is now set.
Most Valuable Promotions announced on Thursday that Serrano will defend her unified featherweight title against Lucrecia Manzur in a 12-round bout with two-minute rounds on AugUST 21 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. The event will be streamed on TikTok Premiere.
Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs), who has won world titles in seven divisions, tied Christy Martin’s record of 32 knockouts with her second-round stoppage of Cheyenne Hanson on May 30 in El Paso, Texas. The 37-year-old southpaw from Puerto Rico holds The Ring, WBA and WBO featherweight titles.
Manzur (14-4, 7 KOs) will be fighting outside of her home country of Argentina for the first time. Manzur, 27, has won five straight fights, including two by stoppage, since her third-round stoppage defeat to Daniela Romina Bermudez (32-6-3, 12 KOs) in 2023.
MVP also announced five other fights that’ll be part of the card, including 2024 U.S. Olympian Jahmal Harvey vs. Hammet Keb, Pulley Poca vs. Cinderella Linnear, Iyana Verduzco vs. Miguelina Hernandez, Nelvie Tiafack vs. Salvador Zavala and Jocelyn Camarillo vs. Ashley Felix.
