Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano 2 – Date, time, TV details and all you ...
Friday’s history-making night of boxing is headlined by the controversial bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, but the real main event for Irish people is just beforehand, as Katie Taylor looks to write another chapter in her legendary career.
In a rematch of their record-breaking fight in Madison Square Garden in 2022, Taylor puts her women’s super-lightweight titles on the line against Puerto Rican sensation Amanda Serrano.
Taylor won a narrow decision in the first fight but came very close to being dropped in round five before finishing strongly to take home the victory.
Taylor and Serrano were due to clash again last July, but the event was postponed due to Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up on a flight.
Since her first fight with Serrano, the Bray native returned home to the 3Arena in May 2023, losing to Chantelle Cameron before winning the rematch at the same venue last November.
Cameron is set to be next in line for whoever wins Friday’s bout.
Serrano, who’s career spans 50 fights, shot into the limelight after signing with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions management company.
She has won five fights in a row since her last fight with Taylor to earn this rematch.
The crowd in New York gave them a standing ovation as the two warriors gave it their all in a fight for the ages.
