Amanda Serrano looks to keep her hopes of a rematch against Katie Taylor when she defends her unified featherweight titles against Erika Cruz tonight.
Serrano holds three featherweight world titles and looks to become undisputed at the weight class by capturing Cruz's WBA title, which the Mexican has held for nearly two years. After losing a hard-fought decision to Taylor in their Fight of the Year contender last April, Serrano has won a one-sided decision against Sarah Mahfoud.
In the co-main event of the New York card, Alycia Baumgardner is back in action as she looks to become an undisputed super-featherweight champion against the unbeaten Elhem Mekhaled. Baumgardner holds three world titles at super-featherweight and looks to capture the vacant WBA title. So here's all you need to know about tonight's fights...

Amanda Serrano: "She has the last piece of the puzzle and I have all the rest, we both want the same thing. We are both world champions and that's what we are going to show in the ring. The real winners are going to be the fans, because it's going to be a fight in a phone booth. It's going to be punches in bunches, I have all respect to Erika Cruz for taking the fight. It's a historic night for both of us and I can't wait."
Erika Cruz: "We aren't focused in any way what people say, I am completely focused in my team. As soon as I knew I was fighting Amanda Serrano, there were no distractions in my training camp. On Saturday night, it will be a historic moment in boxing for Mexico. Becoming champion would be giving something back to my father, he had a dream that I would eventually become world champion. God willing that I go on and do that."
