Amanda Serrano began boxing at 12, inspired by her sister Cindy. Her amateur career was brief but stellar, with a 9-1 record, including the 2008 Staten Island amateur championship and the 2009 New York Daily News Golden Gloves featherweight title, defeating Jody-Ann Weller.

She turned pro on March 20, 2009, winning a majority decision against Jackie Trivilino. In 2011, she claimed her first world title, the IBF super featherweight championship, with a first-round knockout of Jennifer Scott.
