Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is bringing the first-ever championship boxing bout to TikTok, with Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs) defending her unified title against Argentina’s #2 WBO contender Lucrecia Manzur (14-4, 7 KOs). Should Serrano KO Manzur, she will break the all-time women’s knockout record.
Regardless of outcome, at least one milestone will be made on Friday, Aug. 21 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. Serrano vs. Manzur marks the first-ever unified women’s world championship set for 12, two-minute rounds — you know, unless that knockout (or one the other way around) comes. The unification here includes the WBO, WBA, and Ring Magazine titles.
Serrano is a seven-division champion, the first Puerto Rican undisputed world champion (male or female), and the first female boxer to headline Madison Square Garden. She was MVP’s first signee and has a lifetime contract with the promotion that will make her chairwoman of its women’s boxing initiatives following her in-ring retirement, whenever that comes.
“I’ve dedicated my career to creating opportunities for women’s boxing and bringing our sport to the biggest stages possible, so to headline the first-ever championship boxing event on TikTok is incredibly meaningful,” Serrano said in a statement. “Women’s boxing deserves to be seen by as many people around the world as possible, and this partnership gives us the chance to introduce our sport to a massive global audience in a completely new way.”
