Amanda Serrano remains one of the biggest draws in the women's fight game. The Puerto Rican is the only woman to win belts in four weight divisions and united the featherweight division in February earlier this year with a routine defeat of Erika Cruz to add the WBA strap to her set.
The Real Deal has been a world champion at the weight since beating Heather Hardy in September 2019 when she was still trying to make her way into the big leagues. That Hardy offered her a world title fight back then is an act Serrano is now replicating four years later. Despite suffering the only defeat of her career, to Katie Taylor, Serrano, with 30 career knockouts, remains among the most impressive boxers in the world.
Heather Hardy has fought just once in the squared circle since losing her WBO strap to Serrano. In the intervening four years, the Brooklyn native has predominantly plied her trade in Bellator MMA, in which she fought four times. Yet the 41-year-old always felt there would be something missing if she didn't fight again for a world boxing title. Desperate to repay her earlier favor, Serrano gave Hardy that chance. "For her to reach down the ladder and say, here, grab my hand, I got you on this one," she said. "That's a beautiful thing beyond boxing, it's beyond sisterhood."
The main event on a stacked card sees Serrano's manager Jake Paul meet Nate Diaz at a 185lbs catchweight.
