Amanda Serrano Next Fight: Potential Options for ‘The Real Deal’

Caroline Dubois Emerges as a Contender for Amanda Serrano

Following defeat to Taylor attention quickly turned to what could be next for Serrano. Many want a trilogy with the Irish fighter, but it appears the Puerto Rican has other options to consider.

When reflecting on the loss at the AT&T Stadium, Bidarian said: “I hate the result but I love the outcome. I love the outcome because there was a trilogy pre-negotiated had she won. Now Amanda Serrano is a free agent. She is the most followed female boxer of all time as a result and in the US the sentiment is either she won or she was [unlucky not to get the decision].”

He continued: “I think it was a fairly close fight. I do think she deserved to get the nod but it wasn’t a robbery. Nobody got robbed here. The punch stats show Amanda landed more with higher accuracy but you could take a look and say well Katie’s in and out jabbing was cleaner.”

“Sure, it was a very close fight, but Amanda won big time because she’s a 100 per cent free agent and every media partner in the world wants to have Amanda Serrano on their platform,” said Bidarian.

Bidarian Discusses Options

Discussing possible options for Serrano’s next fight, Bidarian said: “There’s Mikaela [Mayer], there’s Caroline Dubois, there’s Chantelle Cameron, there’s Alycia Baumgardner, there’s many names that are there, that are real, that have shown real star power.”

He continued: “Obviously a great name now with the Dubois family,” he added. “If Caroline takes the right steps and the weight classes make sense I think that’s a fight that Amanda would look at.”

“We’re going to make the right next step for Amanda she wants and continue to show that she’s the biggest star in female combat sports,” said the Most Valuable Promotions co-founder.
