NEW YORK (Mar. 9, 2011) –
Undefeated title challenger Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano has
signed an exclusive promotional with Boxing 360 and joined the
New York-based company’s growing stable of future champions.
The 23-year-old Serrano (8-0-1, 4 KOs), who was born in Puerto
Rico, now fighting out of Brooklyn, is slick-boxing younger
sister of former lightweight contender, Cindy Serrano. Amanda is
presently rated No. 3 by independent source WBAN, as well as No.
7 by the WIBA.
“I wasn’t sure about getting involved in female boxing,” Boxing
360 CEO & Founder Mario Yagobi explained. “But I was at her last
fight in upstate New York and I was unbelievably impressed by
what I saw from her in the ring. I was equally impressed outside
of the ring when we spoke. All she does is train to fight. She
doesn’t have a cell phone, a boyfriend, or even go out with
friends. She trains everyday to the point of exhaustion, goes
home to sleep, and then it is right back to the gym the next day
for the same routine. Amanda Serrano is a world champion in the
making and we’re going to position here for that opportunity.”
In her last bout in January, Serrano thoroughly dominated rugged
Ela Nunez for a win by unanimous 6-round decision, avenging the
only blemish on Amanda’s record, a draw versus Nunez in 2009.
Boxing 360 Director of Boxing Bob Duffy believes Amanda is ready
to challenge cross-town rival Maureen Shea, the reigning NABF
featherweight champion from the Bronx. “I think it’s a natural
for New York City and would draw a lot of interest,” Duffy said.
“Maureen is the first female NABF champ from New York City.
She’s the best and Amanda wants to fight the best. She needs to
get past Maureen to get to where she eventually wants to reach.”
Other members of Boxing 360’s stable include USBA heavyweight
champion Maurice “Sugar Moe” Harris, WBC #3 rated super
bantamweight contender Leon “Hurry Up” Moore, former IBF super
middleweight champion Alejandro “Naco” Berrio, NY State super
middleweight title-holder Lennox “2 Sharpe” Allen, KO king
Tyrone Brunson, Nick “Hands of Gold” Casal, Mike Mollo, Joshua
“The Juice” Harris, Emad Ali, Angel “Toro” Hernandez and “King”
David Estrada.
