Serrano wins 50th fight, draws 3.4m viewers on TikTok

Amanda Serrano retained her WBA and WBO featherweight belts with a narrow majority decision over Argentina's Lucrecia Manzur. The bout was notable as the first world title fight streamed live on TikTok, attracting 3.4 million viewers.

“

I am so happy and honoured. That was the first championship main event fight on TikTok guys, super excited, super honoured.

While Serrano secured her 50th career win, she fell short of her goal to break the women's record for knockouts, remaining at 32 instead of achieving the 33rd stoppage she sought. The fight, contested over 12 two-minute rounds, saw Manzur trouble the champion early with right hands. However, Serrano gained momentum from the ninth round and finished the fight in control.

"I am so happy and honoured," Serrano said after the bout. "That was the first championship main event fight on TikTok guys, super excited, super honoured." She acknowledged Manzur's toughness and hunger, noting the age difference between them. "I knew this girl was tough. She's young. She's 27. She's 10 years younger than me. These girls are getting younger and stronger," Serrano stated.

The unified champion now plans to stage her farewell fight, where she hopes to achieve the record-breaking stoppage, in Puerto Rico. This fight is anticipated for later this year or early 2027.

She was hungry, and I knew that coming into training. I trained very hard because I knew it was an opportunity for her, so I had to come on my A game.
