Amanda Serrano Retains WBA and WBO Featherweight Titles and Ties Women's Knockout Record

Serrano has said she is open to one more MMA fight and specifically named Gina Carano as a possible opponent.

Overview

  • Serrano stopped Cheyenne Hanson by second‑round TKO on the MVPW 03 card in El Paso to keep her WBA and WBO featherweight belts.
  • The finish gave Serrano her 32nd career knockout, tying Christy Martin for the most knockouts in women's boxing history.
  • Referee Robert Hoyle's quick intervention as Hanson was pinned in the corner drew widespread fan criticism and online comparisons to recent early stoppages.
  • Serrano, 37, reiterated she is interested in returning to MMA and specifically mentioned Gina Carano while MVP promoters remain a likely path for any crossover bout.
  • The result aired on ESPN and adds urgency to Serrano's late‑career choices as she balances legacy goals, safety concerns around early stoppages, and possible one‑off MMA opportunities.
