Undefeated, North American Boxing Federation (?NABF?)Featherweight Champion Amanda ?The Real Deal? Serrano took another step towards a world title fight when her most recent opponent, Diana Garcia, was unable to answer the bell for the second round in last Saturday night?s fight in the Dominican Republic,. The 22-year-old Serrano (11-0-1, 7 KOs), a native of Puerto Rico who lives in Brooklyn, is ranked No. 7 by the International Boxing Federation (?IBF?), and she figures to move up higher in the IBF?s next ratings. ?We?re finalizing negotiations right now to get Amanda into a world title fight, hopefully, September 10 in Brooklyn,? Boxing 360 CEO/Founder Mario Yagobi said.?She?s worked hard to get into a world title shot position and we believe she earned this opportunity.? Serrano is tentatively slated to face Fatuma Zarika (23-5-1, 14 KOs), of Kenya, for the vacant IBF Junior Lightweight Championship.

Yagobi added. ?We?re getting all of his visa paperwork in order and hope to have him fighting very soon.? Rated as high as No. 8 by the World Boxing Organization this past May, Vitaliy is a native of Kazakhstan, who had more than 150 amateur fights, capturing the Kazakhstan National Championship in 1999, as well as a gold medal in the Junior Olympics.
