Raised in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, Serrano gravitated toward boxing from watching her older sister Cindy, also a professional fighter. She picked the sport up quickly, אַמאַסינג אַ 9-1 record during a brief amateur career in which she won the New York Golden Gloves title in 2008. The 27-year-old would go on to fight all over the world, seizing her first world title in 2011 when she defeated Kimberly Connor to grab a super featherweight belt. אין 2014, she went to Argentina and defeated Maria Elena Maderna to become a world champion at lightweight. Her world title climb continued in February when she stopped Olivia Gerula in the first round to capture her featherweight championship. She made her Barclays Center debut in July with a first-round stoppage of Calixta Silgado before earning another victory in the first round when she stopped Alexandra Lazar to pick up a vacant junior featherweight world title.

 

A 28-year-old out of Torreon, מעקסיקא, Rivas picked up her WBC International title in her last bout, a decision victory over Jessica Gonzalez. Rivas had previously successfully defended her bantamweight world title four times after winning the belt against Alesia Graf in 2014. Her prior run as a bantamweight champion lasted for five defenses after she defeated previously unbeaten Susie Ramadan to win that belt. These extended championship runs came after she became a flyweight world champion in 2005 by defeating Lucia Avalos.

 

An Olympian who represented his native Ukraine, Khytrov also won an Amateur World Championship before turning pro in 2013. זינט דעמאָלט, the 28-year-old has dominated on his way to stopping contenders Josh Luteran and Nick Brinson and previously unbeaten fighters Maurice Louishomme and Aaron Coley. כיטראָוו, who trains out of Brooklyn, won an entertaining ninth-round knockout over Paul Mendez in his last start this past July. Khytrov has fought three times previously on שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן.

 

געבוירן אין מזרח לאָנקע, New York and fighting out of Richmond, ווירזשיניע, Aleem was introduced to boxing at a young age by his parents. זינט טורנינג פּראָ אין 2012 אין עלטער 18, the 23-year-old has wiped out all of the competition in front of him. אין 2015, he dominated Emmanuel Sanchez, דוד טאָריביאָ, Oscar Riojas and Carlos Galvan before defeating once-beaten Jonathan Cepeda in April. אין זיין לעצט באַוט, he boxed a draw with once-beaten prospect Demond Nicholson. He will look to take advantage of another big opportunity on יאַנואַר 14.
