Serrano Set for San Juan Title Defense vs. Reina Tellez as Challenger Misses Weight

Only Serrano’s titles are at stake following Tellez’s 0.6-pound miss at the featherweight limit.

Overview

  • Amanda Serrano headlines in San Juan on Jan. 3, defending her WBO and WBA featherweight belts against late replacement Reina Tellez.
  • Erika Cruz was removed from the card on Dec. 18 after an “atypical finding” in prefight testing, prompting Tellez to step in on short notice.
  • The bout is scheduled for 12 three-minute rounds, aligning with Serrano’s push for equal title-fight rules in women’s boxing.
  • Betting markets list Serrano as a heavy favorite over Tellez, with odds such as Serrano -3000 at BetMGM reported earlier this week.
  • The event streams on DAZN pay-per-view with prelims on Most Valuable Promotions channels, marking Serrano’s first fight since consecutive losses to Katie Taylor.
