She became the undisputed featherweight world champion after beating Danila Ramos in October 2024.

Throughout her career, she has been recognised for her astonishing achievements.

She was named Female Boxer of the Year in both 2016 and 2018 by the WBO.

Amanda also holds the Guinness World Record for most boxing world championships won in different weight classes by a female — seven.

What happened when Amanda Serrano fought Katie Taylor?

Serrano vs Taylor was the first women’s boxing match to headline Madison Square Garden.

It was held on April 30, 2022, and described as the “biggest women’s fight of all time”.

Taylor defeated Serrano by split decision in what was named Fight of the Year by Sports Illustrated.

A rematch was scheduled to go ahead on May 20, 2023, in Dublin however Amanda was forced out of the fight due to injury.

She has since said that she thinks the rematch will not be rearranged.

Speaking on The MMA Hour, Amanda said: “Maybe [it will only be] delayed if she comes out on top, beating Cameron, which I don’t think that will happen.

“But if she does, then maybe the rematch with me will happen.

“I just hope that Katie does the right thing and she wins.”
