This weekend, World Boxing Association featherweight champion Erika Cruz closely watched the unification title fight between Amanda Serrano and Sarah Mahfoud from her home in Mexico City to see who would win.
Although it was not easy, Puerto Rican Serrano, 33, who starred with Katie Taylor in the women’s fight of the year in April, achieved a unanimous decision victory over Denmark’s Mahfoud. Serrano won the IBF, WBO and WBC belts. After the fight, she announced that she will go after the WBA belt to become the undisputed champion at 126.
The WBA champion, Erica Cruz, said through her social networks that she is ready and prepared for the challenge.
“Dynamite” Cruz is coming off a second successful defense against former black and gold belt holder Jelena Mrdjenovich and at 32 years old, she holds a record of 15 wins with 3 knockouts and 1 loss. This clash could be a great opportunity for Cruz to become the first Mexican to be the undisputed champion of a division like 126.
