Amanda Serrano told the doctor she needed to fix her eye quickly so she could look at Paul-Tyson

Amanda Serrano got a GNARLY cut above her eye while fighting Katie Taylorbut the boxing star tells us she wasn’t worried about the huge cut… she was just worried she’d miss out Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson!

“Thank God the doctor was a plastic surgeon and I said to him, ‘Please, I have two requests. Please don’t make it look so bad, and can you do it in a little bit of a hurry? Because I have to go look at Jake. ‘ ,” said 36-year-old Serrano Babcock on TMZ Sports.

“[The doctor] I did a great job and I’m happy with it. Thank goodness it’s shaped like an eyebrow so you can barely see it with a little makeup.”

Of course, Serrano-Taylor – with an astonishing average of 74 million viewers during the fight – was the most watched women’s sporting event in United States history!

Serrano says she initially didn’t know how serious the cut was… until she left the ring and went backstage.

“My corner, that’s my brother-in-law and my sister, they kept it calm and cool. They didn’t tell me how big it was,” Amanda revealed.

“When I went back and looked in the mirror, I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ It brought tears to my eyes because I was more sad for the people watching, especially my family at home, they had to see that, it was truly horrific.”

As for the fight – and the whole Paul vs. Tyson card – Amanda described it as ‘really amazing’.

“I’m just glad I was part of such a great event,” Serrano said.

“It was really amazing and overall what we did in that ring where we showed so many millions of people that women can fight, with blood and everything, with big cuts and everything, we went there, there was no loss in me. I wasn’t stopping, I wanted to give the fans what they came to see and it was a great fight!”

You’d be hard-pressed to find a single rational person who would disagree.
