Amanda Serrano vows to return to the ring in Puerto Rico after fight cancellation

Amanda Serrano shed tears and expressed her determination to return to the ring in her homeland after her title fight against Nina Meinke was called off.

While addressing fans, a visibly emotional Serrano took to the microphone and declared

"I came ready to fight and put on a great show for my fans but the doctor didn’t clear me because I had something wrong with my eye. I wanted to fight in front of my people... One thing I'll tell you, I will be back, and I'll retire. This is where I'll retire... Here in my Island, I'll come back, and I'll retire here in my Island..."

Despite the cancellation, Serrano's manager, Jake Paul, remained optimistic, promising fans a rematch:

"I know she is a warrior. She'll push through this, heal the eye, and then we are going to come back as soon as we can and re-run it because Nina wants that and Amanda wants that. Like I said, this happened 36 hours ago. We did everything we could to keep the fight on, but it wasn't being approved by the commissions as well."
