Serrano Named WBA Female Boxer of the Month, Han Earns Honorable Mention – World Boxing Association

The World Boxing Association (WBA) has awarded its Female Boxer of the Month honor for May to Puerto Rican legend Amanda Serrano, recognizing yet another dominant performance from one of the most accomplished champions in the sport.

The distinction comes following Serrano’s spectacular showing on the card held in El Paso, Texas, at the end of May. In that bout, the reigning WBA Featherweight World Champion put her title on the line against German challenger Cheyenne Hanson and erased any lingering doubts about her place atop the 126-pound division with a commanding victory.

True to her aggressive, crowd-pleasing style, Serrano wasted no time asserting her authority. The Puerto Rican superstar overwhelmed her opponent from the outset and closed the show with a second-round technical knockout. Mixing pinpoint body shots with relentless pressure at close range, the defending champion forced the referee to halt the contest, further cementing her status as one of the most dominant figures in the history of women’s boxing.

The WBA also awarded its Honorable Mention of the Month to American standout Stephanie Han, who delivered an impressive performance on the same El Paso card. Han engaged in a tactical battle with veteran contender Holly Holm for the vacant WBA Lightweight World Title. After ten hard-fought rounds marked by sustained activity and competitive exchanges, Han emerged victorious by majority decision with scores of 96-94, 95-95, and 96-94, capturing the 135-pound crown.

Through these distinctions, the WBA recognizes excellence and the continued growth of women’s boxing. Serrano receives the organization’s highest monthly honor as she continues to build upon her extraordinary legacy, while Han’s championship-winning performance earns her well-deserved recognition among the sport’s standout performers.
