Seven division champion Amanda 'The Real Deal' Serrano has been left frustrated by the postponement of Combates America's planned event in Puerto Rico.
Serrano was scheduled to participate in the mixed martial arts function originally scheduled for January 25 at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum.
However, it was postponed for a future date that has not yet been determined. April and August are under consideration. The change forced Serrano to resume her boxing plans.
"We are working to include Amanda on a boxing card on January 30 in Miami (Florida) so that the next fight is against Katie Taylor in April," said Jordan Maldonado, manager and coach of Serrano, to Carlos Gonzalez.
As part of that January card in Miami, Demetrius Andrade will risk the WBO middleweight title against Luke Keeler in the main event.
Maldonado also reacted irritably by the unforeseen postponement by Combates America.
“They threw a bomb at us. The people of Combates America were doing business with a person who, apparently, did not do things well and hey need to change the date of the card. The promotion of the event was weak. They want a way to put Amanda on [this month in Miami], but we're upset,” Maldonado said.
“Amanda is super disappointed. She is 31 years old and basically has have achieved everything that can be done."
Serrano has held world titles from 115 to 140 pounds and a confrontation with Taylor could mean the end of a successful career.
“We have achieved all the goals. She sacrifices a lot, for her there was no Christmas or New Year. Her participation in Combates America has been canceled and this breaks her heart for the sacrifices that she made. I can't guarantee that [fans] will see much more of Amanda. If things go well, then we are going to be given those two fights or we will officially talk about the retreat,” Maldonado concluded.
