Amanda Serrano has picked the place and the opponent for her exit: home, against a challenger who has never fought for a world title of this size. Most Valuable Promotions announced on Oct. 28 that the Puerto Rican will defend her unified featherweight belts against Australia's Skye Falzon at Coliseo de Puerto Rico.

Serrano is 38 and was the first fighter signed by MVP. Her last defense came in August in Temecula, California, where she beat Lucrecia Anabella Manzur by majority decision to keep the WBA belt. Two judges had it 116-112 and one 114-114, and the WBA counted it as her 50th professional win. That fight used two-minute rounds. January's bout uses three-minute rounds, the same format as the men's championship fights.

Falzon arrives as the WBA's fourth-ranked contender, according to MVP's announcement. Her listed record is 12-2 with seven stoppages. Serrano's is 50-4-1 with 32 knockouts, which is the number that matters for her stated goal: according to Combat Sports UK, she wants to leave with the all-time knockout record in women's boxing. Her three fights with Ireland's Katie Taylor all went to Taylor on points.

In a written statement on X, Serrano framed the fight as unfinished business rather than a ceremonial send-off, and said finishing in Puerto Rico means more than another stop on an international career.

What to watch next: tickets go on sale , a kickoff press conference follows in San Juan, and the co-main event and the rest of the card have yet to be announced.
