Among knockout artists, Amanda Serrano is in position to become the most prolific in women’s boxing history.
Serrano, 37, heads into her featherweight world title fight against Lucrecia Manzur on Friday, Aug. 21, needing one knockout to break the all-time record.
Serrano and Hall of Famer Christy Martin are tied with 32 knockouts.
“Man, it would mean a lot,’’ Serrano said on ESPN’s SportsCenter this week when asked about the record. “I mean, I’ve accomplished everything I’ve wanted to accomplish in my career.
“But to have that record, you know Christy Martin is a pioneer in the sport and one of the greatest women to do the sport. And she’s had that record for over 21 years. That’s a long time.’’
Ownership of the record could officially change hands
when Serrano (49-4-1) puts her WBA and WBO world titles on the line against Manzur (14-4, 7 KOs) during the main event at Pechanga Resort & Casino, Temecula, Calif.
