"This young man is amazing!" - Amanda Serrano congratulates Jake Paul on his Sports Illustrated award
Amanda Serrano showered Jake Paul with appreciation after 'The Problem Child' was awarded the 'Sports Illustrated 2021 Breakout Boxer of the Year' title.
Serrano, who is currently signed to Paul's boxing promotion, 'Most Valuable Promotions', took to Twitter to congratulate the 24-year-old.
"Celebrate meeting w/my manager Nakisa 2day. We talked out History in the Makings yr coming up. Also Congrats to my other manager @jakepaul on his 'Sports Illustrated 2021 breakout boxer of the yr award' This young man is Amazing! 2022 is the @MostVpromotions Year!"
Paul enjoyed a thrilling 2021 as he defeated Tyron Woodley twice. 'The Problem Child' won on the scorecards in their August clash before sleeping the former UFC welterweight champ with a huge overhand right in their rematch last month.
The December 18 victory signified Paul's fifth win in his short but promising boxing career.
Meanwhile, Amanda Serrano has been reaping the benefits ever since signing with Paul's promotion. The 33-year-old has made a substantial amount of money in her last two outings and has also seen her star power reach new heights.
Most recently, the Puerto Rican boxer completely obliterated Miriam Gutierrez. The pair fought on the undercard of Paul vs. Woodley 2.

For her efforts, Serrano took home ESPN Ringside's Female Fighter of the Year award. She is also ranked as the world's best active female featherweight by The Ring and BoxRec.
Having achieved the incredible feat, Amanda Serrano tweeted a message of gratitude to Paul, who played a major role in getting her in front of a wider audience.
Thanking the YouTuber-turned-boxer, Serrano wrote:
"THANK YOU! Is the only words I can clearly say right now @jakepaul @BAVAFASports @MostVpromotions"
