Rematch: Amanda Serrano vs Erika Cruz

According to ESPN, Amanda Serrano, the unified featherweight champion, will defend her WBA and WBO world crowns against challenger Erika Cruz on January 3 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The bout will be streamed live on DAZN and ESPN. The most noteworthy aspect of this battle is that, per Serrano's request, it will be fought over twelve three-minute rounds. Serrano (47-4-1, 31 KOs), who did not give up her featherweight titles to get the fight, is coming off back-to-back points losses to Katie Taylor at super lightweight. Serrano will therefore still be anticipated to enter this bout as the featherweight division's self-assured champion. Serrano and Cruz fought in February 2023, with Serrano winning by unanimous decision. "I fight for equality, for Puerto Rico, and for all women every time I step into the ring," Serrano said in a statement. One of the highlights of my career will be being able to defend the world title in front of my countrymen in three-minute rounds. I vowed to return to fight in Puerto Rico after I was hurt in March of last year, and the time has finally arrived. Not just in his time, but throughout college football's history, Dabo Swinney has made a name for himself as one of the best coaches. Swinney turned the Clemson University Tigers into a dominant force and won numerous titles after taking over a faltering squad in 2008. But Dabo was ready to quit college football completely as the multibillion-dollar industry of collegiate athletics headed toward significant reforms that would alter long-standing regulations permitting athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness. It takes a lot of meat to be so successful and willing to give up on a rule. Since losing to Serrano a few years ago, Cruz (18-2-1, 4 KOs) has won three fights and recorded one draw. Since he essentially lacks the ability to force a finish, she will need to seek for points, which will probably be hard for her to obtain.
