Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Brooklyn, women’s boxing legend Amanda Serrano followed in the footsteps of her older sister, former featherweight champion Cindy Serrano. Since turning pro in 2009, she has captured nine major world titles across seven weight classes. Serrano’s recent rivalry with Ireland’s Katie Taylor has energized the sport and bolstered Serrano’s reputation despite her losing all three matches. In 2022, the duo squared off in the first women’s boxing match to headline Madison Square Garden. Last year’s bout in the same building drew nearly 6 million viewers on Netflix. Under the terms of a lifetime agreement Serrano signed with YouTube star Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions in 2025, she will become the company’s chairwoman of women’s boxing initiatives when she hangs up her gloves. But the 37-year-old isn’t done yet. After defending her World Boxing Organization and World Boxing Association featherweight titles with a unanimous decision over Reina Tellez in January, Serrano (49-4-1) defeated Cheyenne Hanson on May 30 in El Paso, Texas, tying the record for most knockouts (32) in the history of women’s boxing.
