Serrano Defends Unified Featherweight Titles on TikTok, Eyes 50th Win

A win would push Serrano past a major career milestone while MVP and TikTok test a new way to bring women's title fights to younger fans.

Overview

  • The fight took place Friday, August 21, 2026, at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California, with Amanda Serrano defending her WBA and WBO featherweight belts on a card streamed live on TikTok.
  • Serrano entered the bout 49-4-1 with 32 knockouts and sought her 50th pro victory plus a 33rd stoppage to break Christy Martin's record for most knockouts in women's boxing.
  • Argentine challenger Lucrecia Manzur came in on a five-fight winning streak and made her first world-title challenge against Serrano.
  • Serrano has announced this is her penultimate fight, has scheduled a final farewell in Puerto Rico later in 2026 or early 2027, and will take a leadership role at Most Valuable Promotions to guide the promotion's women's boxing efforts after retirement.
  • Promoters billed the match as the first world championship boxing card streamed live on TikTok and the first unified women's title fought over 12 two-minute rounds, an experiment that could change how promoters reach younger, non–pay-per-view audiences.
