Speaking to DAZN in the ring after the fight, Seranno praised the effort of Cruz and celebrated her triumph.

She said,  “She’s a Mexican champion. And we knew that, and I said it from the very beginning. I knew she wasn’t just gonna let me take her belt. 

"She worked hard for this, I worked hard for mine. And that’s what we expected, that’s what we trained for. But I wouldn’t expect any less than that.”
