This event will also include a unique exhibition of Amanda Serrano memorabilia that features her most emblematic achievements in professional boxing. There will also be photo opportunities and many surprises. "The WBO is pleased to institutionalize the first all-women´s boxing card in honor of Amanda Serrano, our undisputable world featherweight champion who has been a pioneer in the development and exponential recognition in female boxing. Amanda´s achievements are without precedent and with her support the event will be a platform where participants can shine before the world," said Olivieri. “This has been my dream for many years and finally it has become a reality,” said Serrano, who is currently in Puerto Rico preparing for her trilogy fight against Katie Taylor scheduled for July in Madison Square Garden in New York. “When I began boxing, I attended events that were only for men which made me aspire one day of developing a boxing card just for women so we could showcase our future champions. I am extremely proud of these young Puerto Rican female boxers who are starting the sport with great motivation. May 10 will be a historic night for women´s boxing in Puerto Rico and we (women) are going to war. The public will be extremely satisfied with the event; I am so sure of that. This event, that will be held annually, is a high impact initiative that reinforces the commitment of WBO and Amanda Serrano with sports equality. The bouts will be streamed live on the WBO YouTube channel (youtube.com/@WorldBoxingOrg), and the WBO Facebook page (facebook.com/worldboxingorg) as well as Wapa Deportes Facebook page and Wapa.TV App. The winners will receive, on behalf of Serrano and Oliveri, a replica trophy of the seven-time division world champion and a special WBO belt with the title ‘Future Champion’ as well as a monetary prize.
