After two very close and record -breaking fights Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will be even the undisputed Taylor championships at the Super Lightweight Championship of July 11 and the headline of the historic boxing card at Madison Square Garden in Modern York.
The event, promoted by Jake Paul’s most valuable promotions, will be broadcast live in Netflix.
“It is only good that in the month of women’s history we are able to announce this obligatory trilogy between the two greatest athletes of all time, on the All-Women card,” said Jake Paul to ESPN.
“In contrast to many novel and elderly, he suddenly suffered in boxing, MVP has, does and will always tell women as equal to men, treating them with the highest respect and we will never compromise these values,” said co-founder of MVP Naki Nakisa Bidarian. “The card of this women is not only a testimony to how far this sport has come, but also the beginning of even greater pressure from MVP to raise the next generation of fighters.”
The previous two meetings of Taylor and Serrano were events creating history. Their initial meeting took place on April 30, 2022 and for the first time women were a fighting card in Madison Square Garden. Taylor won the decision to live in front of a sold -out crowd. The rematch served as the main support of Paul’s hit with the former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on November 15, 2024. Taylor successfully defended her undisputed super airy titles with a controversial unanimous decision over Serrano.
Their rematch was streamly sent to Netflix and destroyed records with 74 million average viewers around the world, becoming the most -watched sports event of women in US history, and ESPN was called Fight of the Year Fight of the Year 2024.
“After the fight on November 15, Netflix came to us and said that he wanted to do more with the most valuable promotions,” said Bidarian ESPN. “One thing that they were absolutely clear is that they wanted to see this trilogy and we returned to them with the ALL-Women event, which would really raise women of sport on their platform with over 300 million global subscribers. They bought it immediately. “
Like Paul-Tyson, Netflix sends a blockbuster event on Friday evening. Undercard All-Women will be announced at a later date.
“Madison Square Garden was home to the biggest boxing matches in history – including” Fight of the Century “and in 2022 between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano,” said Joel Fisher, Vice President of Events and Operations for MSG Entertainment. “We are proud to welcome these extraordinary athletes back to the” most eminent arena in the world “for another historical moment with our first professional boxing card in history.”
The fight against Ireland, 38-year-old Taylor, ranks second on the ESPN list for pounds for pounds and was undisputed in two weight classes. After starting her professional career, 22-0 suffered her first loss, when she went to a super airy and lost to the then champion Chantelle Cameron in May 2023. Later, she multiplied the loss in the rematch to become unquestioned and effectively defended against Serrano.
“I have 2-0 against Amanda, but this is obviously a very special competition, which provides every time we enter the ring, so I think it is true that we have a trilogy,” said Taylor (24-1, 6 Kos). “The atmosphere to the first fight was amazing and I am sure that this time it will be no different.”
The fight against Puerto Rico, Serrano, 36, takes 3rd place on the ESPN pound list. He has a Guinness World Record for the most boxing world championships won in various truck classes by a woman, occupying nine main world titles in seven different weight classes. Since the loss of the decision in 2012, Serrano has undergone 33-2-1, and her only two losses were transferred to Taylor. But the competitive nature of these losses justified the third fight.
“I promised my fans that they would see this trilogy, and I am incredibly grateful that we would finish our journey where it all began-in Madison Square Garden, live in Netflix so that the world could see the world,” said Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KO).
The first two fights are 10, two -minute rounds, women’s boxing standard, and the third fight will be the same. However, Serrano openly pressed for 12 or three minutes round so that the third fight was equal to the fight for the men’s championship. According to Serrano, two warriors were unable to reach an agreement for 12 three minutes in the third fight.
“I am disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word and did not make the trilogy of 12 three-minute rounds, equal men,” said Serrano. “This is a record payment for us both and we are guilty of fans to honor the embrace agreement we have concluded. She didn’t do it. But do not make a mistake, every time we share the ring, it is war and I know that on Friday, July 11 it will be the greatest, because I will finally get an official “W”.
