(FEB 14)–Amanda "The Real Deal"
Serrano (13-0-1, 9KOs), who holds the IBF female super
featherweight title, will once again face the rough and rugged,
Ela Nunez (11-12-2, 3 KOs), in an eight round non-title bout,
this Friday, February 17, at Cicero Stadium, in Cicero,
Illinois. The fight takes place as the co-main event on Sammy
Merza Promotion's "International Rumble in Cicero" card,
showcasing Joel Diaz Jr. (7-0, 6 KO's) in the main event.
Serrano, a native of Brooklyn New York stated, “It’s going to be
fun, I love Ela, she’s a great person and a great fighter. She’s
always a tough fight and Ela is in good shape because she just
fought a week and a half ago. I’m stronger than the last time I
fought her and every fight I always progress. This will be a
great fight for the fans.”
Jordan Maldonado, who trains Serrano added, “Ela is a very tough
and cagey fighter. She’s always coming with a different style
and we have a lot of respect for her. Once we knew we were
fighting her again, we stepped up our training, because we know
she has something to prove against Amanda. Nunez is always
dangerous and I know this fight will be the best fight of the
night. Amanda is ready to go.”
