The World Boxing Federation (WBA) has named Puerto Rican legend Amanda Serrano its Boxer of the Month for May, recognizing another dominant performance by one of the sport’s greatest champions.

The recognition follows Serrano’s spectacular performance at the gala in El Paso, Texas, in overdue May. In that fight, the current WBA Featherweight World Champion put her title on the line against German challenger Cheyenne Hanson and with an impressive victory, she put to rest any lingering doubts about her place at the top of the 126-pound division.

Consistent with her aggressive, crowd-pleasing style, Serrano wasted no time establishing her authority. The Puerto Rican superstar defeated his opponent from the very beginning and ended the gala with a technical knockout in the second round. Combining precise body shots with relentless close-range pressure, the defending champion forced the referee to stop the fight, further cementing her status as one of the most dominant figures in women’s boxing history.

The WBA organization also awarded the Honorable Mention of the Month to the outstanding American federation Stephanie Han, who delivered an impressive performance at the same gala in El Paso. Han engaged in a tactical battle with veteran Holly Holm for the vacant WBA lightweight world title. After ten rounds of hard-fought fighting characterized by constant activity and competitive exchanges, Han won by majority decision with scores of 96-94, 95-95 and 96-94 to claim the 135-pound crown.

Through these awards, the WBA recognizes the excellence and continuous development of women’s boxing. Serrano receives the organization’s highest honor each month, continuing her extraordinary legacy, and Han’s winning performance earns her well-deserved recognition among the sport’s standouts.

The city of El Paso, Texas hosted a unique night of women’s boxing that featured plenty of drama and two world championship fights under the banner of the World Boxing Association. The Texas crowd witnessed both the dominance of an established legend and the coronation of a fresh champion in an evening that was centered around the female athletes.

Puerto Rico’s Amanda Serrano further cemented her legacy as one of the sport’s most feared champions by successfully defending her WBA featherweight world title with a second-round technical knockout over Germany’s Cheyenne Hanson. Serrano wasted no time in asserting her authority, imposing her trademark power from the opening bell and defeating her challenger from close range.

The end came early in the second round when the Puerto Rican superstar trapped Hanson on the ropes and unleashed a vicious combination of body hooks and straight shots upstairs. With Hanson unable to put up any significant resistance, the referee stepped in to stop the fight.

During the co-main event, the focus was on the WBA World Lightweight Championship, where Stephanie Han emerged victorious after defeating combat sports legend Holly Holm by majority decision.

The ten-round fight turned into a tactical battle, with Han relying on speed, activity and punch combinations to counter Holm’s physical strength and experience. After the final bell, the judges’ scorecards reflected the competitiveness of the fight, with scores of 96-94, 95-95 and 96-94.

This result crowned Stephanie Han as the fresh WBA lightweight champion, the greatest achievement of her professional career.

This Saturday in El Paso, Texas, legendary Puerto Rican star Amanda Serrano will put her World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight crown on the line in a thrilling unification bout against rugged German champion and undisputed challenger Cheyenne Hanson.

Serrano enters the fight as a living icon of women’s boxing. Armed with devastating striking power that has made his mark across multiple weight classes, the standout southpaw has built a reputation for controlling the pace at close range and crushing opponents with ruthless pressure – traits that have kept him at the top of the 126-pound division for years.

On the other side of the ring stands Cheyenne Hanson, a physically imposing German fighter known for her tactical discipline and unwavering composure. Hanson sees this unification bout as a defining opportunity in his career. He arrives with a reputation as a technically proficient and sturdy boxer, relying on an organized long-range attack in hopes of neutralizing Serrano’s offensive storm and causing a major upset on the international stage.

The key for the defending champion will be to cut off the ring early, engage her body heavily and force the fight into close quarters, where her striking accuracy will become surgical. Meanwhile, Hanson must keep Serrano at bay behind a consistent left jab, using lateral movement and ring awareness to avoid getting trapped in the ropes as he tries to wear down the Puerto Rican veteran in the championship rounds.
