Linked through the power of technology with women’s boxing pioneer Laura Serrano who has been living in Las Vegas for several years discussed her recent induction into the Canastota Hall of Fame.
Happy to chat with the specialized press and especially with her boxing family, Laura said the news of her induction came as a surprise because, as we all know, she has been away from boxing for a while due to religious beliefs.
“It was very important news for me, but it moved me more for my parents, especially for my mother. She was my biggest fan, my biggest driving force and the best cheerleader I could have. Today my mom is no longer here. She passed in March but she found out about this distinction and I know it was a gift for her.”
Serrano, who is the first Latin American fighter to be inducted in this historic Hall of Fame, was clear saying that she dedicated a large part of her life to boxing and did the best she could in those days when it was difficult for women to fight, especially in Mexico. This is where she paved the way for many.
Laura recalled three great moments as pro, the first of which was her debut, neither more nor less than in Las Vegas against another great Christy Martin in a great card promoted by Don King, when she won the world title after beating to the Irish Deirdre Gogarty and of course, her induction into the Hall of Fame.
Laura, who shared the Class of 2023 with Rafael Márquez, Timothy Bradley Jr., and her rival, who is also a friend, Alicia Ashley. She recognizes that boxing shaped her as a tenacious, disciplined, and courageous woman, and that even though she will always be grateful and linked to boxing today, her Life is governed by Jehovah.
