Amanda Serrano is going home to say goodbye. Most Valuable Promotions announced on X that the Puerto Rican star will fight for the last time on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, facing Australia’s Skye Falzon for the unified featherweight world championship. The card streams live on DAZN, and MVP followed up two days later with ticket details: seats go on sale Wednesday, November 4, at 9 a.m. ET.
The promotion is calling it “The Last Walk,” and the detail that jumped out of the announcement wasn’t the branding. MVP said the bout will be contested under men’s rules, 12 three-minute rounds, the full distance that men’s title fights go. For a farewell, that’s a demanding way to close the book.
MVP’s first post framed the night as a homecoming, tracing Serrano from a young girl in Puerto Rico to a fighter who has spent her career making history around the world before coming back to where it started. The promotion’s ticket post went bigger, billing it as “ONE LAST WALK. ONE FINAL WAR.”

Jake Paul, who co-founded MVP, posted his own tribute shortly after the fight was made official. He called Serrano the foundation of the company’s vision for boxing and wrote that together they had “proven that women’s boxing belongs on the world’s biggest stages.” He closed by describing the event as “a celebration of an athlete who changed the sport forever.”
An hour later Paul shared his top three female boxers of the past five years: Serrano, Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron, all of whom he has promoted. He tagged Serrano with “1 last fight,” listed Taylor as retired and said Cameron has “many left.” Taken together, that’s a fairly clear picture of where MVP’s women’s division is headed once Serrano is gone.

The company has a busy stretch before San Juan. MVP CEO and co-founder Nakisa Bidarian addressed the Serrano news in a video the promotion posted Thursday, along with Paul’s own return to the ring, which is set for December 24 in Dubai.
The announcements leaned on legacy language and left out the numbers. No records, no recap of Serrano’s recent fights, and very little on Falzon beyond her nationality and the belts at stake. Fans who know Serrano’s résumé won’t need it spelled out, but Falzon walks into the biggest night of her career as the name on the other side of somebody else’s goodbye. That’s a strange and dangerous position to put a challenger in.

My take: farewell fights tend to be built soft, a familiar opponent and a short night so the hometown crowd gets its party. Serrano went the other way. She picked a unified title, a challenger from the other side of the world and 36 minutes of possible fighting in front of the people who knew her first. That’s the choice of someone who wants the last night to count as a real fight. The tickets go on sale November 4, and I’d expect the Coliseo to be loud long before the opening bell on January 9.
