Serrano is one of the biggest stars in women’s boxing. She currently holds the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring women’s featherweight titles and has a boxing record of 44-2-1.
In 2022, she took part in arguably the biggest match in women’s boxing history when she fought Irish star Katie Taylor for the lightweight titles at Madison Square Garden in New York, but lost a split decision. Since that setback, she’s picked up decision wins over Sarah Mahfoud and Erika Cruz and is expected to return Saturday against Heather Hardy at the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz event in Dallas.
Although Serrano is known for her boxing, she’s no stranger to MMA with a 2-0-1 record. Her most recent MMA fight was in 2021 when she submitted Valentina Garcia at iKON FF 7 in Mexico.
