Jake Paul and Amanda Serrano will enter the ring on March 2, later this year, MVP Promotions announced in December. Meanwhile, the former undisputed queen of female boxing turned to social media today to speak about Jake Paul. The pair will feature in the co-main event at Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot, San Juan. It will mark Serrano’s first fight in Puerto Rico since becoming undisputed.

Previously, ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano revealed that the tickets for her and Jake’s upcoming fights are nearly all sold out. So, impressed by the performance, Serrano decided to defend the founder of MVP Promotions, ‘The Problem Child’ Paul, against all the critics through a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter).

The IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO, and the former WBC featherweight champion claimed she stopped caring about what people have to say about the YouTuber turned-boxer since she met him. Serrano claimed that when she met Paul in person, it became clear people criticizing him were haters. She went as far as to suggest that Paul is the most selfless, giving, caring, and uplifting person.

“I stopped listening to anything that was said about him the minute I met @jakepaul. Once you meet him, instantly, you know that the ones talking about him are hating. This young man is Selfless, Giving, Caring [and] Uplifting. As a woman, I have been promised so much & nothing. He’s the Best,” Serrano wrote in her tweet. With her thoughts on Paul out of the way, here’s what she said about the sold-out tickets.

Serrano and Jake Paul will do their thing

The upcoming fight will be Serrano’s second fight featuring twelve three-minute rounds, just like her male counterparts in boxing. She vacated her WBC featherweight title for the same since WBC did not agree to recognize her first fight with the same rules against Danila Ramos last year. However, the former undisputed champion is feeling great about the March 2 fight as she reacted to Jake claiming all the tickets are nearly sold out.

“It’s so amazing how all the Expensive tickets sold first. Within 24hrs they were all gone. There are still tickets available with 8 weeks to go but they won’t last. They are the least expensive ones & I made it affordable to even the not so wealthy can enjoy the event. Me & @jakepaul are going to do our thing as well as the rest of the card,” Serrano wrote on Saturday on X.
