Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano rematch set for Netflix at home of ...

Taylor defeated Serrano by split decision a little under two years ago at Madison Square Garden. It was named Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s Event of the Year. 

As Taylor puts her super lightweight belts on the line, Serrano will step up from featherweight for the bout. 

"This is the rematch the world has wanted to see and I’m delighted that it’s finally happening,” said Taylor. 

“The first fight in New York was obviously an epic occasion and it more than lived up to the billing, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different."

Serrano's most recent bout was a unanimous decision victory over Danilo Ramos in October. That was fought over 12 three minutes rounds. Serrano has been vocal in her desire to see female fighters box under the same rules as men. However, her fight with Taylor will be fought over 10 two minute rounds. 

“I promised my fans they would see this rematch after we made history at MSG and it feels like a dream come true to know that Katie and I are finally making it happen on the biggest stage possible to show the world what elite women’s boxing is all about,” said Serrano. 

“While my focus continues to be on giving women the choice to fight with the same rules as men, I’ve always said that this is the one fight I’d go back to 10x2 for if that’s what Katie wanted. I’m coming for her belts, she wants 10x2, so that’s what we will do. I believe I won our first fight, but I didn’t get the decision, so this time I’m not leaving it to the judges."

Following her rematch victory over Chantelle Cameron last November, it was expected Taylor's next bout would be a trilogy fight against the English woman. 

However, the chances of that taking place dissipated as the months wore on. Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn said in March that he and his fighter still want the second Cameron rematch to happen. "They must fight again before Katie Taylor exits the sport," Hearn said.
