Amanda Serrano’s Ethnicity, Nationality, and Religion: What Flag Does She Carry?

Amanda Serrano, or as she is popularly known, ‘The Real Deal’, is the only female in the world to win titles in more than four weight classes. Moreover, she also holds the Guinness World Record for the most boxing world championships won in different weight classes by a female. As of August 2021, she has held nine major world titles across seven different weight classes.

Being the current champion of the WBA women’s featherweight division, she was about to face Nina Meinke and defend her title. However, a case of eyelid dermatitis got the bout canceled. Despite the hurdles, the fight fans have kept on supporting her. But today, let’s take a look at Serrano’s personal life.

Where is Serrano from? Where was she raised?

Serrano was born on the 9th of October, 1988, in Puerto Rico, and as a result, her nationality is Puerto Rican. ‘The Real Deal’ was brought up and currently resides in Brooklyn, New York, USA, to pursue her professional boxing career. She proudly carries the Puerto Rican flag in her bouts. As of August 2021, there is no information on Serrano’s ethnicity and religion.

Serrano holds several professional boxing records as a proud Puerto Rican. Serrano has a magnificent professional boxing record of 46-02-01 (W-L-D). She is a knockout artist, having secured about 75% of her victories in this manner (30 knockouts). The aforementioned championship achievements are just a few of her several other accolades. Her accolades also extend to other realms, like BJJ and MMA, as well.

She was awarded the WBO Female Boxer of the Year Award twice (2016 and 2018). Furthermore, ‘The Real Deal’ is ranked third in the women’s pound-for-pound rankings by ESPN and The Ring, back in 2021. She has now become the undisputed featherweight champion after defeating Erica Cruz in 2023. As she has successfully achieved these many accolades, the entire nation of Puerto Rico proudly considers Serrano their true champion. She is indeed a well-respected professional boxer not only in Puerto Rico but all over the world.

Now, she was about to defend her title against Meinke right in her hometown, at the Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. But the unforeseen circumstances didn’t let it happen. Needless to say, ‘The Real Deal’ was pretty devastated by the news. Nevertheless, she stood strong and garnered the support of the entire fighting community. But is this related to her religion? Let’s find out!

What religion does Amanda Serrano follow?

‘The Real Deal’ never actually revealed her religion to the public. However, in a tweet from the 7th of July, she can be seen jumping a rope. But the clue was hidden in the caption, where she wrote, “Here in the Gym on this beautiful Sunday right after church. As you can see it’s just me and my team. Everyone else is probably sleeping from last nights partying.”

Since Serrano said that she was working out after getting back from the church, we can safely assume that she is a proud follower of Christ. And this was reflected in her recent actions after her fight against Meinke was canceled. She stepped forward and declared that the ticket money would be completely refunded while asking the authorities to fully pay Meinke the amount she was promised.
