Amanda Serrano retains featherweight titles with 50th career win

Puerto Rican boxer Amanda Serrano successfully defended her unified WBA, WBO, and Ring Magazine featherweight world titles against Argentina’s Lucrecia Anabella Manzur on August 21, 2026. The bout, held at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California, concluded in a majority decision victory for Serrano, with official scores of 116-112, 116-112, and 114-114.

While the win marked Serrano’s milestone 50th professional victory, she fell short of her goal to break the all-time women’s boxing knockout record. She remains tied with Christy Martin at 32 career knockouts, as Manzur’s durability prevented a stoppage. Manzur, making her international debut, provided significant resistance, making the 12-round contest more competitive than many anticipated.

The event was notable for its digital reach, being the first major world title fight to be live-streamed on TikTok, drawing over 3 million views. Serrano indicated that her next focus will be her planned farewell fight, which she intends to stage in Puerto Rico.
