With Jake Paul by her side, Amanda Serrano powers through her career. Today, as she stands at the peak of success, she took a minute to reflect on what Jake Paul has done for her.
On the 2nd of March, Paul will co-headline a fight in San Juan, Puerto Rico with Amanda Serrano as the headliner. This fight against Ryan Bourland could be his push toward the championship matches that he’s been yearning for. However, in an endearing move, he has dedicated the card to Serrano and her Puerto Rican roots. Ever since the two joined alliances, fans have grown fond of their bond. Today, as she credits him for helping grow her career, she also thanks him and his team for a philanthropic project that they undertook in her homeland.

Paul operates a not-for-profit initiative that refurbishes boxing gyms nationwide for young talents in the sport. However, just days before their big event in Puerto Rico, Boxing Bullies unveiled the inaugural gym in Serrano’s hometown in Carolina, Puerto Rico. It also had Amanda Serrano’s name associated with it – it is called ‘Serrano Sister’s Gym’. The teary-eyed, ‘Real Deal’ was seen looking around the gym, overwhelmed and filled with joy.
Reposting the video uploaded by Boxing Bullies, the featherweight champion wrote on her social media, “The greatest gift God has given me is my team. My managers Jordan, @jakepaul & Nakisa…Yes I have 3 of them & I tell you each and everyone of them give & work so hard for me. I feel so special & blessed. They all bring so much to the table that they’ve made this simple little Puerto Rican girl the Riches female boxer in the world. Without throwing one single punch inside the ring I make Millions. Yup you read that right Millions. I love them Dearly! Thank You.”
In 2021, Paul founded his promotions company, Most Valuable Promotions, along with his partner, Nakisa Bidarian, and shortly after, inked Serrano into a promotional contract. Since then, she’s been their marquee fighter, with him taking a keen interest in making sure she gets the best fights.

A few days ago, in an interview with Fox News Digital, she spoke of the extra perks she gets because she signed with a company like MVP. For instance, her lucrative deal with Celsius, an energy drink brand, that also has partnered with 27-year-old, Paul. Her association with Paul and Co. has visibly been great. 7 months after signing with them, she fought Katie Taylor. It was the first women’s boxing headliner at the iconic, Madison Square Garden.

Amanda Serrano is Homebound
Her March 2nd fight in San Juan will be her first fight in Puerto Rico in three years. After fighting in a makeshift ring at the Plaza del Quinto Centenario during COVID with limited attendees in 2021, she returns home to fight at the 18,500-seat Coliseo de Puerto Rico against Nina Meinke, that too as a main event.
Attributing this colossal moment in her career to Paul, she told Fox, “He’s opening up for me, and Jake is such a gentleman. He said this is my home, and he would never take that main event. I’m like, ‘No you can do it! You can do it!’ He’s like, ‘There is no way. You’re going home, and you’re going to showcase your home.’ Jake and Nakisa have truly been the best.”
