Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are just days away from their highly-anticipated trilogy showdown.
The duo are set to lock horns for the third time on Friday July 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, just under seven months on from their second meeting which took place in Texas.
Taylor is set to make the second defence of her undisputed super-lightweight championship after she captured the crown in her victory over Chantelle Cameron in November of 2023.
Serrano will be looking to make it ‘third time lucky’ against the Irish icon after their first two encounters ended with Taylor getting the nod in razor thin points victories that could have quite easily gone the other way.
The fight will be promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, a repeat from when they competed in the co-main event to Paul’s clash with heavyweight legend Mike Tyson last November.
In a FaceTime exchange with his former opponent Paul, Tyson shared his thoughts on Taylor’s upcoming showdown with Serrano, as the 59-year-old claims he is backing the Irish star to prevail once again and accepts Paul’s $1 million bet for the fight.
”I got Katie… Nah I got Katie… I like that… Then you said you gotta take me out to dinner too.”
Despite already writing an incredible legacy for herself, Taylor could cement her position as being the greatest female boxer of all time should she be victorious over Serrano once again.
The 39-year-old from Bray won 18 gold medals throughout the course of her glittering amateur career before she entered the paid ranks back 2016, where she has gone on to capture the undisputed championship at both lightweight and super-lightweight to this date.
