Amanda Serrano Chases More History; Here's What's At Stake
Amanda Serrano is a boxing legend. Her status as a fighter and a pioneer in the sport is secure. On Friday night, live on TikTok, Serrano takes on Lucrecia Manzur with her WBO and WBA featherweight championships on the line. Serrano is also chasing a magic number as she looks to close out her career on a winning note. Let’s talk boxing.
The platform is a story alongside the milestone. Most Valuable Promotions is billing this as the first championship boxing card streamed live on TikTok, which puts a unified world title in front of an audience that does not buy pay-per-views.
The format is a first as well. The promotion says this is the first unified women’s world championship contested over 12 two-minute rounds.
Serrano sits one win shy of 50 for her career and she’s made it clear that’s a milestone she wants to reach. No other woman has reached that mark in professional boxing, and when coupled with everything else Serrano has accomplished in her career, it cements her legacy as one of the best female fighters of all time.
Here’s a look at the rest of the card.
