A groundbreaking moment unfolded in the world of boxing as Amanda Serrano not only successfully defended her title against Danila Ramos through a unanimous decision, but also played a pivotal role in rewriting history. Since 2007, women’s boxing matches, including world title fights, were limited to 10 rounds of 2 minutes each, unlike the 12 rounds of 3 minutes in male fights—a disparity that didn’t sit well with the determined 35-year-old champion. So, she decided to change it.

The champion has received support from many prominent figures, some of whom include Laila Ali, Christy Martin, Holly Holm, and Jake Paul among others. Fans did not stay behind in expressing their appreciation.
