One last fight. One last walk. One final chapter. ❤️🇵🇷 Boxing has given me everything. It’s taken me around the world, allowed me to chase dreams I once thought were impossible, and given me the opportunity to inspire the next generation of fighters. But no matter how far this journey has taken me, Puerto Rico has always been home. My heart, my pride, and the island I’ve carried with me every time I stepped into that ring. On Saturday, January 9, 2027, I’ll face Skye Falzon in the final fight of my professional career. And I couldn’t imagine a more meaningful place to say goodbye than in front of my people, on my island. 🇵🇷 I’m not done just yet. We have one more night of history to make together. One last walk. Vamos Puerto Rico. ❤️🥊 ——— Saturday, January 9th LIVE on DAZN Coliseo De Puerto Rico - San Juan, PR #SerranoFalzon #TheLastWalk

El boxeo ha sido mi vida, y nunca podría haber imaginado el camino que me llevaría a mí y a mi familia. ... Cerrar mi carrera en casa, en Puerto Rico, delante de las personas que me han apoyado desde el principio, significa todo.

Legacy and advocacy
Serrano holds the Guinness World Record for titles in seven weight divisions and became the first Puerto Rican boxer, male or female, to win undisputed world honors. She has advocated for equal pay, respect and the right for women to fight under the same rules as men. In 2023 she won the first unified women's world title fight held over 12 three-minute rounds. Metro Puerto Rico reported that she plans to continue fighting for the next generation after hanging up her gloves.
Her rivalry with Ireland's Katie Taylor included the first female fight to headline Madison Square Garden in 2022, a 2024 rematch and a 2025 trilogy that drew record viewership. Serrano equalled Christy Martin's record of 32 knockouts in May 2026 and seeks a 33rd in her finale. El Vocero reported that she arrives with a 50-4-1 record.
Where the sources differ
All sources agree that Amanda Serrano announced her retirement with a final fight against Skye Falzon on Jan. 9, 2027 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, promoted by MVP and airing on DAZN under 12 three-minute rounds. They concur on her record around 50-4-1 with 32 KOs, her advocacy for equality in women's boxing, and that tickets go on sale Nov. 3. Solo Boxeo, Metro and El Vocero give the precise press conference time and location on Nov. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in Distrito T-Mobile. Record details vary slightly: Primera Hora, Metro and El Vocero list 50-4-1 or 50-1-4 while Solo Boxeo states 50-4-1; WAPA says 50-4-1. Sources differ on whether she has already broken or only equalled Christy Martin's KO record.
What the reports do not say
The reports do not specify the full undercard, exact purse for the fight, whether Serrano will continue in another role with MVP beyond her existing lifetime contract, or any details on potential post-retirement plans beyond general advocacy. They also do not provide Falzon's age, exact ranking history or how the matchup was selected beyond her No. 4 WBA position.
