Amanda Serrano relinquishes WBC title in fight length row

breakingnews.ie

Undisputed featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano has announced she is relinquishing her WBC title after the governing body refused to sanction fights of 12 three-minute rounds.

The Puerto Rican retained her WBO, WBA and IBF belts in October with victory over Danila Ramos in a contest fought over that length.

However, her WBC title was not on the line because the organisation did not endorse the format. Women’s fights are typically fought over 10 two-minute rounds.

Serrano wrote on Instagram: “Moving forward if a sanctioning body doesn’t want to give me and my fellow fighters the choice to fight the same as the men, then I will not be fighting for that sanctioning body. “The WBC has refused to evolve the sport for equality.
