Amanda Serrano faces Reina Tellez on Saturday, January 3, live from Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Serrano defends her unified WBA and WBO featherweight titles, while Tellez, who missed weight, is ineligible to claim the belts in the event of her victory. The bout is scheduled for 10 three-minute rounds.
Puerto Rico’s 37-year-old Serrano (47-4-1, 31 KOs) was initially scheduled to face Erika Cruz in a rematch, but the contest fell through after an “atypical finding” in Cruz’s VADA testing. San Antonio-based 22-year-old Tellez (13-0-1, 5 KOs) of Vero Beach, Florida, took the fight on short notice, describing it at the pre-fight press conference as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity.
The co-feature is a championship bout between Stephanie Han (11-0, 3 KOs) of El Paso, Texas, and Holly Holm (34-2-3, 9 KOs) of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Han makes the second defense of her WBA lightweight title, while former boxing and UFC champion Holm looks to once again become a champion in “The Sweet Science.”
On the undercard, Puerto Rico’s Krystal Rosado-Ortiz (7-1, 2 KOs) takes on Tania Walters (7-3, 2 KOs) of Canada at bantamweight. Another bantamweight matchup pits Australia’s former champion Ebanie Bridges (9-2, 4 KOs) against Alexis Mones (3-2-1, 1 KO) of Fort Worth, Texas.
Headlining the prelims, Yankiel Rivera (7-0-1, 3 KOs) meets former champion Jonathan Gonzalez (28-4-1, 14 KOs) in an all-Puerto Rican bout for the vacant interim WBA flyweight title.
