Amanda Serrano overcomes badly-swollen right eye in world title win over Reina Tellez in Puerto Rico

Amanda Serrano had to overcome a badly-swollen right eye in a homecoming world title win over Reina Tellez.

The multi-weight world champion returned to featherweight after losing her trilogy clash to Katie Taylor last summer and Serrano was made to work for a unanimous decision win as she retained her WBA and WBO belts in Puerto Rico.

Tellez, who stepped in as a late replacement opponent last month, inflicted the swelling around Serrano's eye in the fifth round, but the champion displayed her vast experience by responding with classy combinations.

Serrano was cheered on by YouTube star turned boxer Jake Paul, who works alongside her on Most Valuable Promotions, as she sealed a wide victory with scores of 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93.
