Nova York – Campió del món en dos temps, Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano from Carolina, Port Ric, but now living in Brooklyn, will be fighting on Febrer 17 in Manhatthan for the vacant WBO World female featherweight title against former world champion, Olivia Gerula of Canada.

The ambitious Puerto Rican lefty wants to become the undisputed world champion in the featherweight division, and has a message to the current title holders.

“Ara, I’m only focused on Olivia, but at the same time I’m very confident about bringing that belt to Brooklyn and Puerto Rico on Febrer 17,” said Amanda Serrano, who is promoted by DiBella Entertainment.

“Once I get that beatiful belt, we will be looking to unify. There is Jennifer Han, who is the IBF world champion, Soledad Matthysse is the WBC and WBA champion, and she is fighting Jelena Mrdjenovich. I want the winner!”

“Unifying all four featherweight titles is the only thing we care about. If we fail to make that happen, I will go down to 122 to fight for another world title, and become a four division legitimate world champion just like Miguel Cotto”.

Serrano (26-1-1, 19 KO) vs. Gerula (17-15-2, 3KO) showdown will take place at the famed B.B. King Blues Club and Grill marking the first world title fight in the club’s history.

A l'agost 15, 2014, Serrano va viatjar a Argentina per fer front a campió del món de la OMB pes lleuger Maria 'Tily’ Maderna, que en aquest moment, va tenir tres defenses reeixides del títol, però no podia manejar l'agressivitat del colpejador d'energia de Puerto Rico, and decided to give up in the sixth round.

Primer regnat del títol de Serrano va arribar al setembre 2011, when she knocked out Kimberly Connor in the first round to become the IBF World Champion at the super featherweight division in a bout held in Brooklyn.
