Rafael Says Collazo Will Defend on Serrano's Last Walk Card
Label: RUMOR · Heat: WARM. Dan Rafael reports in his Substack notebook that Oscar Collazo is set to defend on Amanda Serrano's Last Walk card on Jan. 9 at Coliseo de Puerto Rico, a Most Valuable Promotions show on DAZN. The public teaser is just that: "@Oscalito6 to defend on Serrano card." Rafael did not name an opponent, and he did not say which title Collazo would be defending.
The headliner itself is official. MVP announced Serrano vs. Skye Falzon for Saturday, Jan. 9, 2027, at the Coliseo in San Juan, and The Ring has covered the kickoff the same way. We had the announcement in 190 and the San Juan presser in 246.
Collazo's spot is not official. MVP's event page still lists only Serrano–Falzon on the main card, and the October release said the co-main and additional bouts would be announced in the coming weeks. Until MVP puts his name on the poster, this stays a Rafael teaser, not a booking.

On the title: Rafael left that unspecified. The Ring reported that Collazo formally vacated the WBO strawweight title on Nov. 2 and that he still holds the WBA and The Ring minimumweight titles. BoxingScene's champions list, updated Nov. 10, still has him as the WBA strawweight champion, with Takeshi Ishii as the WBA Regular. We earlier covered Rafael's reporting that the WBO planned to order Collazo vs. Matsumoto; that WBO belt is the one he later gave up.
One more piece of context, and it is not about the Serrano card. On Nov. 9, in an X reply that tagged Dmitriy Salita, Collazo was talking about a possible unification with IBF strawweight champion Pedro Taduran that was being discussed in that thread. He wrote: "I will love to get that fight happen, it’s the biggest fight in this wait
I hope we fight soon."
Fighter pages: Oscar Collazo, Amanda Serrano.
