Serrano, Han, Holm futures after MVPW-03

Stephanie Han escaped with a controversial majority decision victory over Holly Holm to retain her WBA lightweight title, while Amanda Serrano tied Christy Martin's all-time women's knockout record with her stoppage of Cheyenne Hanson at MVPW-03 in El Paso, Texas.

Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs) indicated 2026 would likely be her final professional year, focused on breaking Martin's record and winning 50 fights. The WBO and WBA featherweight champion isn't interested in a fight with stablemate Alycia Baumgardner and appears content fighting mandatories against Lucrecia Manzur or Shannel Butler.

Han's controversial victory leaves her pursuing Katie Taylor but possibly facing Caroline Dubois instead. Despite her loss, Holm proved she remains competitive and carries significant name value, giving her options for both boxing and MMA that neither Han nor Serrano currently possess.
