Amanda Serrano Targets 32 Knockouts Against Cheyenne Hanson

amanda serrano enters Saturday night in El Paso with 31 knockouts and a chance to move within one of Christy Martin’s record. She will defend her featherweight title against Cheyenne Hanson at El Paso County Coliseum on May 30, with the bout set for MVPW-03’s double main event.

Serrano-Hanson at El Paso County Coliseum

The title fight is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET, with ringwalks expected at approximately 10 p.m. Hanson, 28, brings a 17-2 professional record and a nine-fight winning streak into her first shot at a boxing world title.

That makes the matchup a sharp contrast in experience and position. Serrano is 37 and listed at -5000, while Hanson is +1600. The source prediction calls for Serrano to win by unanimous decision, with scorecards of 99-91 twice and 98-92.

Christy Martin's knockout mark

Serrano’s immediate target is Martin’s 32-knockout mark. She has 31 stoppages now, and told Ring Magazine, “The goal is definitely to get that Christy Martin record, so if it comes this year, then we'll think about retiring.”

She added, “But until that happens, I love making history, breaking records. That's the goal.”

Hanson brings some pressure of her own. She has six world titles in kickboxing and has not been finished in her boxing career, which gives Serrano a different kind of test than the numbers suggest.

MVPW-03 and Jake Paul's roster

The fight sits on a card headlined by Holly Holm vs. Stephanie Han II, and Serrano remains one of the biggest stars on Jake Paul’s roster. For a champion already positioned near a major knockout milestone, the result on Saturday is about more than the belt alone.

If Serrano gets the win, the record chase stays alive and the next round of pressure shifts to whether she can reach 32 before she starts weighing retirement the way she described.
