On Wednesday, the PFL announced they added Serrano (2-0-1, 0-0 PFL) to the PPV Super Fight Division. The promotion hasn’t announced an opponent or a date for Serrano’s promotional debut. Serrano, a historic figure from Puerto Rico, holds an impressive 44-2-1 record in boxing, with 30 knockouts. Serrano is set to compete this weekend as she attempts to defend her titles against Heather Hardy on Aug. 5.

"I joined the PFL PPV Super Fight Division because of their revolutionary format that empowers fighters like never before. The PFL's commitment to promoting high-profile, pay-per-view events with some of the biggest MMA stars in the world showcases an incredible opportunity to elevate my career to new heights and prove my ability beyond just the ring. I may be known for boxing, but I’ve always loved and trained in MMA and Jiu-Jitsu, knowing those skills would only add to my ability when going against any opponent,” said Amanda Serrano. “The league's commitment to gender equality, providing equal opportunities and recognition of female fighters, is also a driving force behind my decision. I can't wait to step back into the cage and deliver thrilling performances and unforgettable moments for fans around the world."

Serrano’s signing with the PFL is highly anticipated due to her previous mixed martial arts success. After her MMA debut ended with a draw, Serrano scored back-to-back first-round submission victories. Her latest MMA assignment dates to June 2021, when she submitted Valentina Garcia via guillotine choke at iKon Fighting Federation 7.

“I’m thrilled to announce undisputed world boxing champion Amanda Serrano as the next global superstar to join the PFL PPV Super Fight Division,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray. “Our fighter-first culture has attracted the world’s top athletes and we’re looking forward to seeing Amanda take on the sport of MMA with the PFL.”

Serrano is just the latest name to join the PFL PPV Super Fight Division, following the likes of former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight kingpin Francis Ngannou, Jake Paul and Kayla Harrison, among others.
