Serrano said after receiving her
WBAN 2016 award this week, "Today I received one of the best
Gifts/Awards ever! As most of you know by now I was awarded
Fighter of the year by WBAN for 2016. Out of all my
accomplishments this by far is the best. I've won multiple
world titles in multiple divisions 122, 126, 130, 135 by
multiple organizations WBO, WIBA, WBC, IBF, UBF, NABF but the
only one that didn't come with a price tag and was purely done
for the growth of our some times un-excepted sport is the WBAN."
Serrano is one of the top elite athletics who have fought for
the WBAN belt. There is no price tag to fight for the WBAN
Belt----only being one of the top female boxers in the world
