However, even with her impressive resume, she says that in the past 2½ years since joining MVP, the promotion Founded by Jack Paulhas changed his life and career.
Paul, a YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, founded the promotion in 2021 with his business advisor, Nikisa Bedarian, and signed Serrano to a contract soon after.
And while Paul remains a controversial figure in the game, there is no doubt that he has become one of its faces. That brought him to the attention of Serrano, who made it “the best decision I’ve ever made in boxing,” he said.
“It completely changed my life,” Serrano said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. “Jack brings the eyes. to the game, and I was excited to be a part of that and be the first girl on his undercard. I had to make sure that I had to go out there and prove that I deserved the position. Jack is just an amazing guy. Nikisa is an amazing man. And they only want what’s best for me.
“They definitely added more zeros to my bank account, so I’m really blessed for that.”
Serrano says one of the benefits of the MVP deal has been additional sponsors, such as Celsius, the energy drink brand.
Paul partnered with Celsius last February, and the brand was the main sponsor of his first-round knockout of Andre August. Serrano signed a deal with the brand last month.
“Celsius is amazing. The whole staff, they’re so welcoming. The drinks themselves are amazing,” Serrano said. “They’ve definitely helped me through this camp. It’s been a tough camp, and every time I need Celsius to get through it.”
Seven months after signing with MVP, Serrano made headlines. Madison Square Garden Against Katie Taylor. It was the first women’s boxing match to headline the world’s most famous arena. However, his next fight will probably stand above the rest.

This will be his first fight. Puerto Rico In about three years. His last fight was held there at a temporary ring in the Plaza del Quinto Centenario during COVID with limited attendance. It is also the last time he had a knockout.
“I’ve been really lucky to have opened for her so many times, and now the roles are reversed,” Serrano said of her bout against Nina Menke. “He’s opening for me, and Jack is such a gentleman. He said this is my house, and he’s never going to attend this important event. I’m like, ‘No you can do it! You You can do it!’ He’s like, ‘There’s no way you’re going home, and you’re going to show your house.’ Jake and Nikisa have been really great.”
Serrano is 46-2-1 in her career, and despite being a heavy favorite, she knows her 50th career professional fight will be a challenge.
“I’m hoping it’s a repeat (of the 2021 fight)”, she said. “I’m really excited, and I’m pumped. And I can’t wait to go out there and perform in front of my people.
“There are no easy fights. All these girls are coming in, they have everything to gain. All my titles are on the line, and Nina wants it. She’s going to bring everything she has to my hometown. In town I’ve got to try and get that. Upset. But I’m working really hard. Nina’s a tough fighter. But I’ve got the skills, I’ve got the strength to go out there and do it tonight. I can win.”
