Every great one gets to pick the door they walk out of. Amanda Serrano picked the one closest to home.
Most Valuable Promotions announced Wednesday that Serrano will fight for the final time on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2027, against Australia's Skye Falzon in Puerto Rico. MVP is billing it as "The Last Walk," and the BBC reports it will be a 12-round featherweight title defense at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. The Ring reports the fight will stream live on DAZN, with Serrano putting The Ring and her unified featherweight titles on the line.
Serrano, 38, comes in at 50-4-1. Falzon, 37, has won 12 of her 14 pro fights, seven by knockout, according to the BBC.
There's one more number on the table, and it's the one Serrano keeps bringing up herself. Christy Martin's women's record is 32 knockouts, and Serrano needs one more stoppage to pass it. She came up short of that in August, when she had to rally for a majority decision over Lucrecia Manzur in Temecula, California, for her 50th win. "I still got that 33rd knockout. I got one more fight," she told The Ring that night.
"To close my career at home in Puerto Rico, in front of the people who have supported me from the beginning, means everything," Serrano said in the announcement, as quoted by the BBC. "I'm going to give the fans one final night to remember."
Now, the Kimster's take. Serrano has nothing left to prove. She won world titles in seven divisions, she is the only Puerto Rican fighter, man or woman, to become undisputed, and she and Katie Taylor were the first women to headline Madison Square Garden. Taylor took all three of their fights, and Taylor retired in September. With her great rival gone, Serrano gets to write the last line on her own terms, in front of her own people. Falzon is a live, hungry opponent who will want to ruin the party, and that's exactly why it matters. A farewell against a nobody is a parade. This is still a fight.
MVP had already set a Nov. 2 press conference in San Juan, so expect the full card and ticket details there.
