In just a few hours, the first major boxing event of 2026 will begin. Fans and pundits alike eagerly look forward to a stacked card headlined by none other than Amanda Serrano. The former undisputed champion returns six months after suffering the fourth loss of her career and the third to Katie Taylor. The multi-divisional champion was originally scheduled to defend her featherweight unification titles against rival Erika Cruz.

However, a last-minute scheduling change prevented Cruz from avenging her 2023 loss to Serrano, and Reina Tellez stepped in as a replacement. While Amanda Serrano and Tellez promise a ten-round thriller, fans are equally intrigued by the fight that precedes it. In the co-main event, legend Holly Holm will attempt to become a world champion after a decade-long hiatus, during which she reached significant heights in the UFC. But that is only part of the story. We have compiled a few useful details to ensure fans do not miss the event set to unfold in Puerto Rico.
