The decision was never hard for Amanda Serrano.

A matter of finding the right fight was the most difficult part for the seven-division titleholder and reigning undisputed featherweight champion who continues to serve as a trendsetter at a point when most are winding down their careers. Serrano took a routine mandatory title defense versus interim WBO featherweight titlist Danila Ramos and turned it yet another historic moment.

The two will meet in a championship scheduled for twelve, three-minute rounds atop an October 27 DAZN show from Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.

“Obviously, this came from the crazy mind of Jordan,” Serrano quipped to BoxingScene.com of her brother-in-law, head trainer and manager, Jordan Maldonado. “Obviously, we have the WBO mandatory so we wanted to make a statement. We wanted to do something different.

“So, we asked Danila and her team if they would be interested to fight twelve rounds and three minutes per round. It took her team like two seconds to agree to it. So, we just decided to do it. Nakisa went to the Florida commission to make sure it was cool and now we’re doing it.”

Brooklyn’s Serrano (45-2-1, 30KOs) has been on board for quite some time to fight under such circumstances. She even casually mentioned it during the launch press conference ahead of her challenge of undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor last April 30 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The pair of pound-for-pound entrants wound up fighting the traditional female limit of ten, two-minute rounds. They still made history as the first female bout to headline at MSG and turned in an instant classic to properly honor the occasion.

Serrano hasn’t stopped adding to her incredible legacy, even in the wake of a disputed points loss that evening. She dropped back down to featherweight, where she still held the WBC and WBO titles and went on to add the IBF and WBA belts to fully unify the division.

A ten-round win over Erika Cruz in their full featherweight unification at MSG’s Hulu Theater in February remains the frontrunner among all women’s clashes for 2023 Fight of the Year. The occasion also saw Serrano fulfill a career-long dream as the first Puerto Rican boxer ever to claim undisputed championship status.

Still, it wasn’t enough.

When it came time to negotiate terms for a title consolidation bout versus Argentina’s Ramos (12-2, 1KO), the idea was to make it something other than just another routine title defense. Of course, it’s still business as usual in training camp, though with a few minor tweaks.

“The only different thing we did was run a little more for this fight,” admitted Serrano, who celebrated her 35th birthday on Monday. “A couple more miles, a few more minutes of cardio. Other than that, we go to the gym, we train hard, spar our usual three-minute rounds. This camp was just adding a little bit more cardio.”
