The legendary Puerto Rican boxer Amanda Serrano made it clear that she is not planning to hang up her gloves yet. After equaling the record of 32 knockouts in women's boxing, the six-time world champion assured that her immediate goal is to become the discipline's top knockout before considering retirement.

The Puerto Rican star made the statements during the presentation of the second edition of the Amanda Serrano Championships event, held at the T-Mobile District in San Juan, where he also spoke about his future in the ring and the legacy he wants to leave for new generations.

After tying the record that belonged to the American Christy Martin, the Puerto Rican champion acknowledged that the end of her career is approaching, although she still does not have a defined date to say goodbye to professional boxing.

“You are going to know when my last fight will be,” Serrano told a group of journalists after announcing the second edition of the 'Amanda Serrano Championships' event at a press conference at the T-Mobile District, in San Juan, where the competition will take place this coming Saturday.

The 37-year-old boxer reiterated that she wants to close her career in front of her audience and that she still has pending goals to achieve.

"What I assure is that my last fight will be here, in Puerto Rico. In my next fight I can break the record, but I don't think it will be the last. I feel that it is coming soon, because I have been in the sport for many years and what I want is to enjoy the champions in the future," he added.

The Puerto Rican champion feels better than in previous years

For the past two years, Amanda Serrano has left open the possibility of retirement. However, the pursuit of the absolute knockout record kept her active and motivated to continue competing at the highest level.

The boxer, featherweight champion of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and the World Boxing Association (WBA), assured that she is going through a great physical and mental moment.

As she explained, a large part of that tranquility is due to the fact that she has already managed to equal the record of knockouts, eliminating a pressure that accompanied her for several seasons.

The world champion recognized that one of the most important aspects of her current career is to become a positive reference for young boxers seeking to make their way in the sport.

“The most difficult thing, but at the same time, the easiest” is to be a role model for these boxers, “because I always have to be sure to do things well and open doors for these girls,” she said.

Serrano believes that her experience can serve to promote the development of new athletes and help women's boxing continue to grow internationally.

"And for me, I'm doing a good job at that. I love being a role model, giving them good opportunities and motivating them and inspiring them, and that, to me, is one of the best feelings," she reflected.
