Amanda Serrano has once again written her name into the history books.<\/p>\n

The future first-ballot Hall of Famer already holds the Guinness World Record for the most world titles won in separate divisions by a female boxer, with nine major belts across seven weight classes.<\/p>\n

And on Saturday night, at the El Paso County Coliseum, she equalled Christy Martin’s long-standing women’s knockout record<\/a> with her 32nd victory inside the distance over Germany’s Cheyenne Hanson.<\/p>\n

Serrano proved too good for Hanson, who was quickly overwhelmed by the Puerto Rican puncher’s intense front foot pressure. <\/p>\n

Late in the second round, Serrano pinned Hanson against the corner post and unloaded a series of unanswered blows as the referee jumped in and waved off the fight.<\/p>\n

What did Serrano say post-fight?<\/p>\n

“This is my time,” said Serrano after retaining her WBA and WBO featherweight titles. <\/p>\n

“With the three minutes we get to set up shots. <\/p>\n

“I was feeling her out in the first round. <\/p>\n

“But I think the three minutes gave us more time to have fun in there, and that’s what I was doing, I was having fun.<\/p>\n

“I can break the knockout record in my next fight. <\/p>\n

“I can get my 50th win and break Christy Martin’s knockout record.”<\/p>\n

Serrano improves to 49-4-1 in victory, while Hanson falls to 17-3.<\/p>\n

In the co-main event of MVP’s all-women’s bill, former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm was unable to exact her revenge on Stephanie Han.<\/p>\n

The WBA lightweight champion retained her belt via majority decision, with two judges scoring the fight 96-94 in her favour, while the third had it 95-95 even.<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to fight night, Holm had been campaigning for a fight with Katie Taylor, who is set to have her farewell fight at the back end of the year.<\/p>\n

Now, Han has thrown her hat in the ring to face the Irish boxing legend.<\/p>\n

“The next fight I want, and I know every fighter wants it, is Katie Taylor,” Han said post-fight.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the undercard, Desley Robinson successfully defended her IBF and WBO middleweight titles with a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Mary Spencer, while Lourdes Juarez retained her WBC light-flyweight title via split decision against Yokasta Valle.<\/p>\n
