Serrano is the only Puerto Rican boxer, male or female, to become an undisputed world champion.<\/p>\n
Her profile reached new heights after she became the first fighter to sign with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) in 2021.<\/p>\n
Founded by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, MVP has invested heavily in women’s boxing in recent years.<\/p>\n
“Nakisa, Jake and MVP believed in me and in women’s boxing, and together we’ve helped change what’s possible for women in this sport,” Serrano said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve fought for respect, equal opportunities, fair pay, and the choice to compete under the same rules as men.<\/p>\n
“There’s still more work to do, and I’ll continue fighting for the next generation long after I hang up my gloves.”<\/p>\n
Serrano’s career will perhaps be best remembered for her historic rivalry with Ireland’s Katie Taylor, who won all three of their encounters.<\/p>\n
The pair became the first women to headline a boxing event at the iconic Madison Square Garden in 2022,<\/a> before meeting again in a hugely watched rematch on Netflix in 2024.<\/a><\/p>\n
