The event promoter and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) company announced that the fight was canceled about 30 minutes before Serrano entered the ring.
“Amanda Serrano has unfortunately been declared medically unfit by the Puerto Rican Boxing Commission to fight tonight due to an eye injury she suffered yesterday,” reads a statement from MVP.
“She is devastated that she will not be able to perform in front of her hometown fans, but despite wanting to go out and put on a show, the Commission said there is no way she can fight with her eye in her current condition.
