In the other main event, Stephanie Han will face boxing legend and former UFC star Holly Holm in a rematch with the WBA lightweight title on the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Serrano bounced back from back-to-back losses to Katie Taylor in January when she defeated Reina Tellez by unanimous decision. She needs just one knockout win to tie Christy Martin&#8217;s record of 32 KOs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;When MVP told me that Han and Holm were going to rematch in Stephanie&#8217;s hometown of El Paso, I said I want to get on the card to support these two queens,&#8221; Serrano said in a statement, per ESPN&#8217;s\u00a0<a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/boxing\/story\/_\/id\/48420692\/amanda-serrano-defend-titles-vs-cheyenne-hanson-mvpw-03\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Andreas Hale<\/a>. &#8220;Women&#8217;s boxing is growing on a global level, and fights like this \u2026 are proof of how far we&#8217;ve come. I respect every opponent who steps in the ring, and I know Hanson is coming to win and she has KO power. I&#8217;m also continuing to hunt the all-time knockout record, so that&#8217;s always on my mind, but everything starts with discipline, execution, and performing at the highest level on fight night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The fight between Serrano and Hanson is scheduled for 10 three-minute rounds, as opposed to the two-minute rounds that are customary for women&#8217;s fights. Hanson is riding a nine-fight win streak into the matchup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;It means a lot to be representing Germany on this stage,&#8221; Hanson said. &#8220;Training camp is going to be hard, but I&#8217;m focused. I respect my opponent, but I&#8217;m coming to make a statement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Holm and Han had faced each other in January, but their fight was stopped in the seventh round due to a cut on Holm&#8217;s hairline from an accidental clash of heads. Holm was down on all three judges&#8217; scorecards at the time of the stoppage, allowing Han to win a technical decision and retain her lightweight title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;MVPW-03 is absolutely stacked,&#8221; Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions, said in a statement. &#8220;\u2026 Amanda continues to set the global standard for women&#8217;s boxing and matching her in a title defense against a dangerous knockout artist like Cheyenne Hanson creates a blockbuster double main event alongside Stephanie Han vs. Holly Holm.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boxing star Amanda Serrano is set to return to action next month in a double main event of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-591811","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
