Jake Paul would like to mix Kathy Taylor (21-0, 6 KOs) vs. Amanda Serrano (42-2-1, 30 KOs) in a rematch in November or December. The American, who is the promoter of the Puerto Rican athlete, offers Taylor a record fee of two million dollars, but only on the condition of a featherweight fight.

The first fight between the Irishwoman and Serrano took place in April in lightweight. Taylor won on points and defended four championship belts in the weight category up to 61 kg. Paul is offering a rematch two weight classes down, where the Puerto Rican is doing better and boxing regularly.

The chances that an Irish woman will accept such conditions are slim. Her next performance will be in Dublin at lightweight or super lightweight, and Cris Cyborg is being discussed among her potential rivals. Serrano will return to the ring on August 6 at a boxing night in New York.

Taylor's first fight with Serrano was watched by 1.5 million viewers through the DAZN streaming service. The live boxing evening at Madison Square Garden was watched by over 19,000 fans, and both boxers earned over a million dollars for their performance.
