Amanda Serrano lashed out at Jake Paul and his comment about 'fake Americans'
Puerto Rican boxer Amanda Serrano immediately responded to Jake Paul's strong message on social media
Boxer Amanda Serrano firmly responded to the recent statements made by her promoter, Jake Paul, after the Super Bowl. Paul called Puerto Ricans “fake Americans” and called for a boycott of Bad Bunny's performance. These words generated an immediate reaction from the eight-division world champion via social media. "I am proud to be Puerto Rican and a US citizen. Puerto Ricans are not fake Americans," stated Amanda Serrano. The boxer defended his people's identity and highlighted the contributions of the island's citizens in various fields. “We are citizens who have contributed to this country in every way… and our identity and citizenship deserve respect,” she added. A clear stance against Most Valuable Promotions. Although Amanda Serrano acknowledged Paul's professional support, she made it clear that her principles and her origins are above any contract. The boxer expressed being “amazed” by Bad Bunny's excellent representation of Puerto Rican culture. “I do not agree with statements that question the legitimacy or identity of the Puerto Rican people,” the athlete wrote on X. Amanda Serrano emphasized that she always enters the ring with pride to represent her flag and protect the image of her people. "I cannot support that characterization. It is wrong... I will always support my people, with respect for who we are," she stated. The athlete concluded her message by assuring that she will never change and that she will always be a “proud Boricua” regardless of the circumstances. Even Logan Paul, Jake's brother, distanced himself from the offensive comments to defend the legitimacy of Puerto Ricans. "I love my brother, but I do not agree with this. Puerto Ricans are Americans," the WWE wrestler posted. These criticisms are surprising given that Amanda Serrano and other Puerto Rican talents are the main figures in Paul's promotional company. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance included boxers like Xander Zayas and Emiliano Vargas. This gesture was applauded by industry experts, who saw the show as a platform to raise the profile of boxing. Despite the attacks from her promoter, Amanda Serrano reaffirmed that respect for Puerto Rican identity is non-negotiable.
