Amanda Serrano has successfully defended her WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine featherweight titles against a spirited Reina Tellez. The 37-year-old American champion, fighting in her home country for the first time since 2021, marked a triumphant return to Puerto Rico with a hard-fought victory.
Serrano, known as 'The Amazon', dominated the bout from start to finish, showcasing her ring intelligence and experience. Tellez, who was promoted by Most Valuable Promotions, gave Serrano a stern test, landing some quality shots that caused swelling under her right eye in the fifth round. However, Serrano's greater experience ultimately told as she controlled the latter stages of the fight to earn scores of 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93.
The bout was contested over 10 three-minute rounds under men's boxing rules, with victory extending Serrano's professional record to 48 wins. Tellez, who is just 22 years old, proved that she is a force to be reckoned with in the featherweight division, having come from nowhere to challenge one of the world's best.
Serrano expressed her gratitude towards Reina for coming on short notice and fighting, describing her opponent as "a warrior". The champion also stated that she was happy to give the fans a show and is looking forward to her next fights, which she feels will be even better than this one.
The event paid tribute to Sina Ghami and Latif "Latz" Ayodele, two close friends of Anthony Joshua who died in a car crash on Monday. The bout was part of the tribute, with their names displayed on the ring canvas.

22 y/o Reina Tellez gives Amanda Serrano a run for her money 
! But at the end of the day, experience wins out 
. Great fight and great sportsmanship from both fighters 
. Tellez's a talented kid with a lot to learn, but she'll get there 
. And props to Reina for stepping in on short notice 
. The Amazon is still the queen

- boxing can be so much more than just the sport itself, you know? It’s about community and respect for those who are no longer with us. Kudos to Amanda for making it a special event 
after that win! She totally dominated Reina Tellez and showed off her skills. But you know what? I think Reina's a dark horse in the featherweight division 
. She came out swinging and gave Serrano a tough fight. I'd be curious to see how she'll bounce back from this loss, but at 22, she's still got her whole career ahead of her 
.
. On the flip side, it's sad that we're paying tribute to Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele 
. Those were two talented individuals who left us too soon.
. Her skills are insane and she just dominated that fight from start to finish. And props to Reina Tellez for stepping up on short notice - it takes a lot of guts to take on someone like Serrano, especially at such a young age 
Amanda Serrano is literally a boxing genius! she's like 37 but she still got it 
and that right eye was all swollen by the 5th round lololol. i love how Amanda showed respect to her opponent even though she dominated the whole fight 
. I mean, 22 years old and already putting up a tough fight against a legendary champion like Serrano? That's impressive 
. And I love how she described Reina as "a warrior" - that's the kind of respect and admiration we should all be showing each other 
.
! Bring on the action! 
. I mean, they claim to improve the safety and performance of boxers, but have we seen any real data on that? And what's up with the ring being flooded with all those cameras and screens? It feels like more like a YouTube broadcast than an actual boxing match 
. And don't even get me started on the constant commentary – can't they just let the fighters speak for themselves? I'm starting to think it's all about entertainment over athleticism 
. Anyway, congrats to Amanda Serrano on her win and all, but I'll be keeping a close eye on Reina Tellez - she's got some fire in her belly 
. And I'm loving how Serrano is showing respect and gratitude towards her opponent, that's what it's all about 
.
