Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are set to square off in their third bout at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The fight will happen in just a few hours, with Taylor's undisputed super-lightweight championship on the line.
These two fighters have a history. They first met in April 2022, when Taylor won a split decision to defend her undisputed lightweight championship for the sixth time. Their second encounter took place in Texas in November 2022, where Taylor again came out on top, this time claiming the undisputed super-lightweight title.
Both previous fights were nail-biters. They could have easily gone Serrano's way, which adds extra spice to this trilogy match.
Taylor, the 39-year-old Irish fighter from Bray, comes into this fight as the undisputed champion in two weight classes. She's won both of her previous encounters with Serrano. Her Puerto Rican opponent, Serrano, is 36 years old and boasts an impressive record as a seven-division world champion.
Legendary trainer Teddy Atlas shared his thoughts on his YouTube channel, THE FIGHT. He believes the key factor in this match will be who has more left in the tank.
"There's a chance Serrano has a little more left," Atlas said. "But I'm not going against Taylor. I expect the same tactics, skill levels, and character we've seen before."
For Taylor, a win tonight could cement her place as the greatest female fighter of all time. But she faces another tough challenge against a familiar and formidable opponent.
The boxing world waits with bated breath as these two warriors prepare to step into the ring once more. Will Taylor continue her winning streak, or will Serrano finally get the upper hand? We'll know soon enough.
