Serrano defense on despite Tellez missing weight
Unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano will still look to defend her WBO and WBA titles this weekend, despite her opponent missing weight Friday.
Serrano (47-4-1, 31 KOs) weighed in at 126 pounds for her first unified title defense in more than two years. Her opponent, Reina Tellez (13-0-1, 5 KOs), weighed 126.6 — 0.6 pounds over the limit — and will not be eligible to win either of Serrano's belts.
Tellez, 22, stepped into Saturday's bout on short notice, after Serrano's initial opponent, Erika Cruz, produced an atypical finding last month.
Serrano is coming off back-to-back appearances at super lightweight against Katie Taylor. She went 0-3 all time against Taylor, dropping a split decision in April 2022, a unanimous decision in November 2024 and a majority decision in July. Serrano is looking to tie Christy Martin's record of 32 career knockouts.

Amanda Serrano vs Reina Tellez fight time: PPV stream and how to watch
Amanda Serrano will face a promising boxer rather than a seasoned veteran in her first bout since losing to Katie Taylor in July.
Erika Cruz, Serrano’s originally scheduled opponent, was removed from the card due to an “atypical finding’’ in a prefight drug test, according to Most Valuable Promotions, which made the announcement Dec. 18.
With the 35-year-old Cruz out, up stepped 22-year-old Reina Tellez (13-0-1). On Friday, Tellez weighed in at 0.6 pounds over the maxium limit of 126 pounds. That means she will not have a shot at winning Serrano's WBO and WBA world featherweight titles.
Serrano, 37, said this might be her final year of boxing. But before retirement, Serrano (47-4-1, 31 KOs) has goals to meet: 50 career victories and the record for knockouts by a woman. Christy Martin holds the current mark for knockouts with 32 KOs.
