It's a case of everything being bigger too as the bout will be available to a global audience of 280 MILLION with the entire card being free once you're a subscriber with Netflix.
The Bray hero has already promised this match-up will outdo its memorable predecessor for drama as well as scale.
Here's everything her Irish-based fans need to know around how to catch it live:
It's always an inexact science when it comes to predicting how a card full of the sweet science will unfold.
This is because the bout order is contingent on how many fights on the undercard and leading up to the biggest scraps wrap up before the final bell.
But all estimations are that Katie and her Puerto Rican foe will be making their ring walks around 3 am Irish time on Friday night/Saturday morning.
November 15 is the official fight date but of course it'll technically be November 16 that it unfolds for Irish supporters.
Is the fight on standard Netflix subscription or is it on PPV?The question a lot of fans have been asking.
Taylor vs Serrano II being on your standard Netflix sub seems too good to be true - but the fight IS available on a standard subscription at NO EXTRA COST.
A current ads-supported subscription will set you back €4.99-a-month, while a standard one, which allows you to watch on two devices at once, is €14.99-a-month.

Both of those options allow you to watch the action in Full HD.
There is a premium subscription which costs €20.99-a-month, however.
And that allows users to watch on four devices at the same time, the option to add two members of a different household AND the ability to watch in Ultra HD quality.
What are the latest betting odds?Another razor-thin decision is the most likely outcome with Taylor a slight favourite at 10/11.
Serrano, whom is two years younger at 36, is priced at evens. Meanwhile a draw isn't out of the question at 14/1.
What's been said in the build-up?KT has intimated that she'd be open to a third match-up - even if she makes it 2-0 in her favour on Friday.
Both boxers sat opposite one another on an episode of MVP Face-2-Face to hype the rematch, which is serving as 'co-main' before Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
And Serrano claimed that, during negotiations for the fight, Taylor's management turned down the chance of fighting in 12, three-minute rounds.
She has advocated for the extended format to become the norm for a while, while KT previously spoke of her own willingness to do so.
Serrano said: "Honestly, the first fight I wanted 12, three-minute rounds. I was very vocal about that.
"After that I fought the 12, three-minute rounds and I was scheduled for another 12, three-minute rounds.
"When Jordan Maldonado, who is my manager, did the negotiations in front of me on speaker, and he spoke to your team, it was adamant. It had to be 10x2."
BRING IT ONTaylor insisted she had no idea what was discussed during the negotiations.
She responded: "I actually don't mind doing the 12, three-minute rounds myself.
"The three-minute rounds actually suit the boxer more than the fighter so I have no idea what went on during those negotiations.
"I just sign the contract when I see it but I think the 12, three-minute rounds would suit me better."
The 38-year-old concluded: "If I won again, the only reason I would do the trilogy is because it is against Amanda Serrano in a 12, three-minute round fight.
"That would make it very, very interesting, and I would absolutely be up for that."
