AMANDA SERRANO GUIDING NOW THE CAREER OF NICOLE ‘THE UNTOUCHABLE’ OCASIO
In the midst of promoting the biggest women’s boxing match in history
between seven-weight class world champion Amanda Serrano and undisputed
135-pound champion Katie Taylor of Ireland on Saturday, April 30 in New
York, the Puerto Rican native of Carolina, has begun to recruit exclusive
female talent, in order to ensure their interests in a sport where gender
pay inequality reigns.
“My island has produced some of the best male boxers and in the meantime,
female boxing has proven to be just as good. I am very happy to take on the
task of unveiling the next female superstar Nicole Ocasio,” said Amanda
Serrano.
“In Nicole I see a super dedicated young woman, who has exceptional talent
and humility that distinguishes her. Her passion for boxing is something
serious and her talent is not to mention her. If she stays dedicated and
focused, I’m sure Puerto Rico will have another very solid world champion,
but we’re going step by step. The path will not be easy, but she has the
tools to go very, very far.”
The talented boxer know as ‘The Untouchable’ for her impeccable defense
will have her career in charge on Serrano, together with the company RB
Management, of its president Richard Borges.
“Serrano’s most valuable and true greatness is in her heart,” said Richard
Borges.
“In her prime, she decides to share her brilliance in the midst of
promoting her historic fight in women’s boxing. Sure, she had thousands of
options, but no, she thought about her roots. She did not wait for her to
finish her career to help other young people. She is doing it without
needing to do it. No one knows the shortcomings of women’s boxing better
than Amanda and her team. She decides to serve before being served”,
declared Borges.
Ocasio, a native of Carolina, like Serrano, but a resident of Texas, won
five national championships in the United States and was a two-time winner
of the prestigious Golden Gloves tournament.
“I want to thank our champion Amanda Serrano and her team for their
interest in me. I was very surprised to learn of her desire to want to
manage my career. Also grateful for everything that Amanda has achieved
with a lot of discipline, determination and sacrifice for women’s boxing
and Puerto Rico. I have no words to describe how I feel. I am a proud young
woman, blessed and grateful for the unconditional support of my beloved
island,” said Ocasio.
Ocasio will be making her debut in professional boxing on Friday, April 1
in Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic as part of an event
promoted by the Shuan Boxing.
The fight will be broadcast live on the promoter’s YouTube channel.
“Shuan Boxing is giving a lot to talk about because of the quality of its
fighters and the scenery they use in their events. They have several world
champions and the support of the fans. We thank them for allowing Nicole to
debut on their platform. The Ocasio fight can be seen by the whole world
live on YouTube,” said Jordan Maldonado, co-manager and trainer of Amanda
Serrano.
