Jake Paul announces 'knockout queen' Amanda Serrano has signed for PFL with boxing star set for MMA switch

JAKE PAUL has announced "knockout queen" Amanda Serrano has signed for the Professional Fighters League.

Serrano is an undisputed boxing world champion but she also has two wins and one draw in MMA.

But she will return to the cage under with the PFL, who are set to debut their new "super-fight" division next year.

Serrano, 34, said: "I joined the PFL PPV Super Fight Division because of their revolutionary format that empowers fighters like never before.

"The PFL's commitment to promoting high-profile, pay-per-view events with some of the biggest MMA stars in the world showcases an incredible opportunity to elevate my career to new heights and prove my ability beyond just the ring.

"I may be known for boxing, but I’ve always loved and trained in MMA and Jiu-Jitsu, knowing those skills would only add to my ability when going against any opponent."

The PFL is a seasonal format, consisting of qualifying and knockout stages, culminating in a series of finale fights with $1million at stake.

But they are set to dip their toes in the traditional prizefighting pool next year with the super-fight division.

Francis Ngannou, 36, is set to make his PFL debut in 2024 while so too is YouTuber-turned boxer Paul, 26, who announced Serrano's switch.

He and business partner Nakisa Bidarian said: “Amanda Serrano's decision to join the Professional Fighters League is a natural fit for one of the most accomplished combat sports stars in history.

“The PFL's innovative format, coupled with its commitment to equal fighter-pay and elevating female fighters, provides Amanda with an unparalleled opportunity to showcase her MMA skills to the world.

"She’s a knockout queen in the ring and has shown to be a submission artist in the cage.

"Her addition to the PPV Super Fight Division is a testament to the growth and appeal of the league, further solidifying the PFL as the premier destination for MMA stars across the globe.”
