Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are getting ready for another big fight. The two boxing stars will face off again at AT&T; Stadium in Texas as part of the undercard for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul.
This rematch comes after their historic bout in 2022. On April 30 that year, Taylor and Serrano made history as the first women to headline a boxing event at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The fight was a thrilling back-and-forth affair. Taylor won by split decision and kept her undisputed lightweight crown, though some folks thought Serrano deserved the win.
The fifth round of that fight was particularly intense. Serrano hurt Taylor, but the Irish fighter came back even harder. It's this kind of action that has fans pumped for the rematch.
Since their first meeting, both fighters have been busy. Taylor lost to Chantelle Cameron in her first career defeat but bounced back to win the rematch and regain her super-lightweight belts. Serrano dropped down to featherweight, became the undisputed champion there, and racked up five wins in a row.
For their upcoming fight, Taylor and Serrano will meet at super-lightweight. Taylor's four belts in that division will be on the line.
At a recent press conference, Mike Tyson shared his thoughts on the fight. The boxing legend didn't mince words when asked for his prediction.
"Katie's gonna beat her motherf***ing ass!"
Tyson's bold statement, captured on video, has added even more buzz to an already exciting matchup.
With both fighters at the top of their game and their first bout still fresh in fans' minds, this rematch promises to be another classic in women's boxing.
