Amanda Serrano retained her WBA and WBO featherweight belts with a narrow majority decision over Argentina’s Lucrecia Manzur in the first world title fight to be streamed live on TikTok.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Puerto Rican was made to work for her 50th career win, edging a majority decision but missing the 33rd knockout she needed to break the women’s record, remaining on 32.<\/p>\n

Serrano’s fight, held over 12 two-minute rounds, may not have delivered a record\u2011breaking knockout, but it drew 3.4 million total views on TikTok.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old continues to be one of the most watched female fighters in the world, with her third fight against Ireland’s Katie Taylor<\/a> last year drawing an audience of six million on Netflix and their rematch in 2024<\/a> getting over 50 million on the same platform.<\/p>\n

Friday’s fight in Temeculam, California was scored 114-114, 116-112 and 116-112 in favour of Serrano.<\/p>\n

Manzur troubled the champion early with repeated right hands, but the Argentine tired as Serrano seized momentum from round nine and finished the fight in control.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the bout, Serrano said: “I am so happy and honoured. That was the first championship main event fight on TikTok guys, super excited, super honoured.”<\/p>\n

On Manzur, Serrano added: “I knew this girl was tough. She’s young. She’s 27. She’s 10 years younger than me. These girls are getting younger and stronger.<\/p>\n

“She was hungry, and I knew that coming into training. I trained very hard because I knew it was an opportunity for her, so I had to come on my A game.”<\/p>\n

The unified champion will now be hoping to eclipse Christy Martin with a 33rd stoppage in her farewell fight, which she plans to stage in Puerto Rico later this year or in early 2027.<\/p>\n

Martin was ringside for the contest, saying: “No matter what, I’m always in [Serrano’s] corner.”<\/p>\n

Serrano’s record now stands at 50 wins, four losses and one draw, while Manzur slipped to her fifth career loss in 19 bouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Serrano retained her WBA and WBO featherweight belts with a narrow majority decision over Argentina’s Lucrecia Manzur…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":864641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-864640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864640","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=864640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/864641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=864640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=864640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=864640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
