Dibesarkan di bahagian Bushwick Brooklyn, Serrano ditarik ke arah tinju dari menonton kakaknya Cindy, juga pejuang profesional. Dia mengambil sukan itu dengan cepat, mengumpul satu 9-1 rekod semasa kerjaya amatur ringkas di mana dia memenangi gelaran Golden Gloves New York di 2008. The 27-year-old would go on to fight all over the world, merampas gelaran dunia pertamanya di 2011 Apabila dia mengalahkan Kimberly Connor untuk merebut tali pinggang bulu super. Dalam 2014, Dia pergi ke Argentina dan mengalahkan Maria Elena Maderna untuk menjadi juara dunia dengan ringan. 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, Mexico, 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. Sejak itu, 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. Khytrov, 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 ShoBox: Generasi Baru.
Dilahirkan di East Meadow, New York and fighting out of Richmond, Virginia, Aleem was introduced to boxing at a young age by his parents. Sejak beralih pro dalam 2012 pada usia 18, the 23-year-old has wiped out all of the competition in front of him. Dalam 2015, he dominated Emmanuel Sanchez, David Toribio, Oscar Riojas and Carlos Galvan before defeating once-beaten Jonathan Cepeda in April. Dalam pertarungan terakhir, he boxed a draw with once-beaten prospect Demond Nicholson. He will look to take advantage of another big opportunity on Januari 14.
