In a highly anticipated fight, Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (44-2-1, 30 KOs) defends her undisputed featherweight title against fellow Brooklynite Heather “The Heat” Hardy (24-2, 4 KOs) in Dallas. This epic showdown is the co-main event for Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight.
Serrano’s ultimate goal is a rematch against Katie Taylor in Ireland, following their exhilarating bout in 2022 at Madison Square Garden. The Most Valuable Promotions-backed fighter is currently one of the most decorated female boxers. Co-founder Nakisa Bidarian expressed excitement for Serrano’s return, calling her “the most devastating puncher in women’s boxing.” Serrano has a remarkable record, with 30 knockout victories and titles in seven different weight divisions.
Amanda Serrano acknowledges her debt to Heather Hardy for the opportunity to fight for the WBO title in 2019, leading to her current status as the undisputed featherweight champion. Serrano, excited to share the card with Jake Paul, promises an “exciting war.” Hardy, on the other hand, has scored two consecutive wins and aims to reclaim her former glory. At 41, she’s also competed in MMA under Bellator and held the WBO women’s featherweight champion title in 2018 and 2019.
Both fighters share a deep passion and determination for this upcoming bout. Hardy is grateful for the rematch, and inspired by her late trainer’s prediction that 2023 would be her year, she’s ready to prove him right. Thanking Serrano for the opportunity, Hardy asserts that her only focus is on winning and “stealing the show” from Jake Paul and Nate Diaz. With such compelling storylines and fierce competitors, this event promises to be an unforgettable night of boxing.
