The upcoming boxing showdown
between Amanda Serrano and Germany's Nina Meinke is poised to
make history as the biggest female boxing event in Puerto Rico.
Set to take place at the Coliseo José Agrelot, affectionately
known as the "Choliseo," in San Juan, this highly anticipated
match promises to captivate audiences with its display of skill
and determination.
Addressing the press at the
Distrito T-Mobile complex during the first official press
conference for their March 2 Ring featherweight championship
bout, Serrano, the reigning Ring featherweight champion,
expressed her anticipation for what she believes will be a
fierce battle. Recognizing Meinke's opportunity to claim her
belts and make her mark in the boxing world, Serrano
acknowledged her opponent's toughness and skill, setting the
stage for an epic showdown.
Serrano, who has previously fought in Puerto Rico despite her
New York roots, expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming
support from her fellow Puerto Ricans. She marveled at the
opportunity to headline such a significant event on her home
turf and thanked MVP for organizing the spectacle. With
Jake Paul graciously opting to fight in the co-main event to show
support for Serrano, she acknowledged the reversal of roles and
looked forward to showcasing women's boxing alongside her
co-stars.
Meinke, rated No. 2 by The Ring at featherweight, expressed her
excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to face Serrano in
Puerto Rico. Embracing the challenge, Meinke recognized the
significance of the atmosphere and the motivation it provides.
She eagerly anticipated the sold-out Coliseo and affirmed her
readiness to compete at the highest level.
In solidarity with Serrano's commitment to fighting in the 12×3
format, Meinke voiced her support for gender equality in boxing
and expressed pride in being part of this movement. Despite
acknowledging Serrano's strength as a boxer, Meinke emphasized
her own skills and experience, confident in her ability to
deliver a compelling performance.
