“I’m so close – I have to break it – I can feel it in my bones. But first we have to tie it up on Saturday night.”
Serrano was part of a historic trilogy of fights with Taylor
Standing in his way is Cheyenne Hanson. There will be no walkover for the German’s Serrano, who boasts a 76 percent knockout percentage and has won nine straight fights over the past five years.
“He’s an up-and-coming fighter, but those are my favorite fights. They’re my favorite fights (of my career),” Serrano said.
“I’m at featherweight, where I feel my best, where I feel my strongest. I’m undefeated at featherweight.
“I’m excited to put on a showcase in front of my El Paso fans, so I’m ready.”

Scotney promises an ‘all-action’ performance against Flores and says, if he wins, he’ll have his eyes on Serrano
“And we said to Amanda, we like the idea, but to be transparent, we can’t pay you what you’re used to paying here. Smaller market, different opportunity.
“Amanda didn’t hesitate and said, ‘I’ll take less. I want to do this. It’s important for me to show these women what it means to be a team player, what it means to try to advance women’s boxing.’
“I express my gratitude to him and his team for their willingness not only to look for themselves, but for the next generation of fighters and how they can support it.”
