Most Valuable Promotions announced on 28 October that Amanda Serrano's final professional fight is scheduled against Skye Falzon in San Juan on 9 January 2027. Serrano is due to defend her WBA and WBO featherweight world titles before retiring from the ring.
Serrano's farewell will be a world title defence
The promoter has named the event The Last Walk and booked it for Coliseo de Puerto Rico, with DAZN carrying the contest live. The pairing gives Serrano a home farewell while presenting Falzon with a world title challenge on a major international broadcast.
Most Valuable Promotions' 28 October announcement says the featherweight fight will use 12 rounds of three minutes each, the format Serrano has advocated for women's championship boxing. The promoter's release identifies the bout as a defence of Serrano's WBA and WBO titles. The result, however, remains in the future: the announcement sets a fight, rather than recording a final career outcome.
World champion Amanda Serrano connected the San Juan venue to the people who have backed her career. Serrano said: “To close my career at home in Puerto Rico, in front of the people who have supported me from the beginning, means everything.”
Falzon is an Australian featherweight who enters the promotion's plans after winning regional honours. The promoter calls Serrano's appearance her final walk to the ring and says she will remain involved with its women's boxing work after retirement. That continuing role concerns her work outside the ring; the fight itself is still scheduled.
Falzon's recent result and Serrano's longer-round history
SportsRivo fact-checked Falzon's result against the World Boxing Association's September report: she won the WBA Oceania and WBA Asia featherweight titles after beating Monika Singh by unanimous decision in New South Wales. That result provides competitive context for Falzon's upcoming challenge for Serrano's world titles.
Serrano previously faced Danila Ramos in a unified championship bout contested over 12 three-minute rounds, according to Most Valuable Promotions. The promoter also recalls Serrano and Katie Taylor fighting in the first women's boxing match to headline Madison Square Garden. The two bouts provide separate context for her farewell: the Ramos fight for its round format, and the Taylor fight for its headline billing.
What the announced fight puts at stake
- Serrano's WBA and WBO featherweight titles are scheduled to be defended, giving Falzon a chance to win world honours after her regional success.
- The contest is planned under the longer championship format Serrano has used before and publicly supported for women boxers.
- A stoppage victory would take Serrano beyond the women's knockout record she currently shares with Christy Martin, according to Most Valuable Promotions.
Ticket sale and kickoff event
According to the promoter's 28 October announcement, tickets are due to go on sale on 3 November. Most Valuable Promotions has scheduled a kickoff press conference in San Juan for the same day, while the rest of the fight card is still to be announced.
