Tonight I am here where I’m supposed to be in my beautiful Island with my people celebrating and watching with awe how well Benito represented us and our culture
I am proud to be Puerto Rican, and I am proud to be an American citizen. Puerto Ricans are not “fake Americans.” We are citizens who have contributed to this country in every field, from military service to sports, business, science, and the arts, and our identity and citizenship deserve respect.
I would not have the opportunities I have today without the support and belief that Most Valuable Promotions and Jake Paul showed in me, and I will always be grateful for the role they have played in helping change my life and in elevating women’s boxing. At the same time, I want to be clear: I do not agree with statements that question the legitimacy or identity of Puerto Rican people, and I cannot support that characterization. It is wrong.
I fight with the pride of Puerto Rico and represent my flag every time I step into the ring. I will always stand with my people, with respect for who we are, and with pride in where we come from.
I will never change and will forever be a Proud Boricua.

@Serranosisters@KatieTaylor I love the humility, Amanda. Although the result didn’t go the way yourself or many of us had hoped, you performed great given the circumstance. Thank God you are feeling good today and healthy. Peace to you and your team.
With the exception of @MarlyRiveraESPN The overall coverage on twitter and specifically the content from @WBCBaseball has been, for lack of a better term, lackluster.
