Amanda Serrano talks about headlining a Jake Paul card
In a deviation from the norm, this time around, Jake Paul will be the co-main event in a fight card. Suffice it to say Amanda Serrano is elated by 'The Problem's' child gesture.
Speaking to TMZ Sports about the social media star's decision to let her headline on her home turf, Serrano said:
"That's just Jake 100 percent... That's just how Jake is. He said no, and he was dead on serious. He said no, this is your time. I'm going to let you shine. I'm just super honored. Jake is a great guy, and he showed that."
