Tellez misses weight for Serrano title challenge

Amanda Serrano weighed in at 125.6 pounds for tonight's featherweight championship defense at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which will be streamed on DAZN. Her opponent, late replacement Reina Tellez missed the featherweight of 126 by less than a pound and will be ineligible to claim the championship in the unlikely event she defeats Serrano. Here is Serrano's reaction to Tellez's weight mishap: "I was taught and brought up the right way from my understanding. I Will Not under any circumstances belittle an opponent or be unfair. This is boxing, we are women. Our hormones act up some times. If you don’t make weight and it’s by less than a pound, I’m not tripping. I don’t want no money, I don’t want you to cut anything! If it’s not ok [with] the commission, it’s on them. I’m not bothering anyone. It’s not like she disrespectfully came a few pounds over. Let’s give them a war, Reina, we can do it."
