Amanda Serrano to Chase All-Time Knockout Record in Retirement Bout Against Skye Falzon

Amanda Serrano has announced her retirement from professional boxing, scheduling her final bout for January 9, 2027. The event, titled “The Last Walk,” will see the Puerto Rican icon face Australia’s Skye Falzon at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan.

Serrano, who remains the only Puerto Rican boxer—male or female—to achieve undisputed world champion status, has opted to conclude her career in front of a home crowd. The match is scheduled for 12 rounds of three minutes each, the championship standard for men’s boxing. Serrano has long advocated for women to fight under the same time and round constraints as their male counterparts, and this format serves as a final statement in her campaign for gender parity in the sport.

Chasing the All-Time Knockout Record

Beyond the personal significance of a homecoming, Serrano enters the ring with the opportunity to claim a definitive piece of boxing history. She is currently tied with legend Christy Martin for the most knockouts in women’s boxing history, with 32. A stoppage victory against Falzon would allow Serrano to retire as the sole record holder in that category.

This final chapter follows a significant period in Serrano’s career, including her historic rivalry and trilogy with Katie Taylor that concluded in early 2026. By choosing to face a ranked contender for her finale, Serrano maintains a high level of competition for her exit from the ring.

Opponent Details and Ticket Information

Skye Falzon enters the bout as the WBA’s #4-ranked contender. The Australian fighter, who began her professional career later than many of her peers and now operates her own gym, holds a professional record of 12-2 with seven knockouts. She is a multi-regional champion across Asia and Oceania, bringing a disciplined resume to the Jan. 9 clash.

The “Last Walk” event is expected to be one of the most significant sporting dates in Puerto Rican history given Serrano’s status as a trailblazer for the island. Tickets for the event are scheduled to go on sale Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. AST via Ticketera.
