Amanda Serrano retained her WBA and WBO featherweight belts with a narrow majority decision over Argentina’s Lucrecia Manzur in the first world title fight to be <\/b>streamed live on TikTok.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n The Puerto Rican was made to work for her 50th career win, edging a majority decision but missing the 33rd knockout she needed to break the women’s record, remaining on 32.<\/p>\n Serrano’s fight, held over 12 two-minute rounds, may not have delivered a record\u2011breaking knockout, but it drew 3.4 million total views on TikTok.<\/p>\n The 37-year-old continues to be one of the most watched female fighters in the world, with her third fight against Ireland’s Katie Taylor<\/a> last year drawing an audience of six million on Netflix and their rematch in 2024<\/a> getting over 50 million on the same platform.<\/p>\n Friday’s fight in Temeculam, California was scored 114-114, 116-112 and 116-112 in favour of Serrano.<\/p>\n Manzur troubled the champion early with repeated right hands, but the Argentine tired as Serrano seized momentum from round nine and finished the fight in control.<\/p>\n Speaking after the bout, Serrano said: “I am so happy and honoured. That was the first championship main event fight on TikTok guys, super excited, super honoured.”<\/p>\n On Manzur, Serrano added: “I knew this girl was tough. She’s young. She’s 27. She’s 10 years younger than me. These girls are getting younger and stronger.<\/p>\n “She was hungry, and I knew that coming into training. I trained very hard because I knew it was an opportunity for her, so I had to come on my A game.”<\/p>\n The unified champion will now be hoping to eclipse Christy Martin with a 33rd stoppage in her farewell fight, which she plans to stage in Puerto Rico later this year or in early 2027.<\/p>\n Martin was ringside for the contest, saying: “No matter what, I’m always in [Serrano’s] corner.”<\/p>\n Serrano’s record now stands at 50 wins, four losses and one draw, while Manzur slipped to her fifth career loss in 19 bouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
