Amanda Serrano - Nina Meinke world title fight cancelled at last minute
The rumors started swirling even before Jake Paul began his bout with Ryan Bourland. One quick round later, it was confirmed. The world title fight between Amanda Serrano and Nina Meinke was cancelled. Amanda Serrano came out to the ring crying and was heartbreaking to see.
Joined in the ring by Felix Trinidad and her opponent Nina Meinke, Serrano announced to the crowd that they will get a 100% refund before she breaks down in tears and leaves Jake Paul to explain that a last minute medical issue left her cornea exposed, meaning that the doctors would not approve the fight.
Apparently some hair gel had gotten into her eye the day before as she was having her hair done, pulled back into a tight braid as is normal among women boxers. It became an irritation and then got worse, leaving her effectively blind in one eye.
Jake Paul says that as soon as she is cleared, they will bring Meinke and Serrano back to Puerto Rico to make sure the fight takes place there.
The crowd booed, a sight that was truly heartbreaking to see as Amanda broke down from the emotion of it all. Felix Trinidad takes over the microphone, softly reproaching the crowd, and telling the people that they should get behind Serrano, take pride in her accomplishments. Nina Meinke also takes the microphone and says words of encouragement, saying that she is ready whenever Amanda is better and she too hopes that the fight can take place in Puerto Rico.
