Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano holds championships across three genres of combat sports, wrestling, MMA, and boxing. While these accolades are known globally, the same claim cannot be made about her personal life, and that is by design. The Real Deal doesn’t want to date anyone, at least not while she’s still boxing.
There isn’t much known about her relationship status. There had been some reports about it back in 2021 but since there have been no further updates, it’s safe to assume that she is single. Besides, Serrano has publicly claimed that she views relationships as a distraction.
“I’ve seen fighters that have a boyfriend or they have a girlfriend and they’ll get into a fight with their partner, go to the gym and they won’t have the same performance.”
‘The Real Deal’ also mentioned that she wanted to stay free from such distractions so that she could give her “100%” towards her combat sports career. She might be right or wrong, depending on one’s perception of things but if it’s gotten her to 9 world titles, clearly something’s working out well.
Besides, Amanda’s motivation for boxing has always been her older sister, Cindy.
How Cindy got Amanda into boxing
Cindy and she were both born in the municipality of Carolina in Puerto Rico. She was also her primary inspiration to start practicing the sport.
To be fair, Cindy tried to bar her from getting into boxing by having her spar with a boy during the initial stages of her training. ‘The Real Deal’ may have left the ring with tears on that day.
But those tears fuelled her to win multiple world titles across weight classes and a Guinness World Record to complement them.
Cindy Serrano isn’t an unknown name either. As of February of this year, the former WBO Women’s featherweight champion had a 27-6-3 record with 10 knockouts to her name. She has also not once been knocked out in her entire career. At one point in her career, she had gone on a 16-fight unbeaten streak.
She would lose it to Melisa Fiorentino and would suffer from a series of losses before going on another 10-fight unbeaten streak that would see her win the world title against Calista Silgado in 2016.
