Katie Taylor faces Amanda Serrano for undisputed championship

On July 11, 2025, Madison Square Garden in New York City will host the highly anticipated trilogy boxing match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. This fight comes almost eight months after their last encounter, where Taylor secured a victory by unanimous decision. Taylor, 39, currently holds multiple prestigious titles, including the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring female light-welterweight championships. As a seven-division world champion, Serrano aims to reclaim her standing in what has become one of the greatest rivalries in women's boxing history. The event will also feature a stellar undercard, which includes fights for various world titles. Notably, Alycia Baumgardner will defend her undisputed women’s junior lightweight championship against Jennifer Miranda. Additionally, matchups for unified super-middleweight titles between Savannah Marshall and Shadasia Green, and unified junior featherweight titles between Ellie Scotney and Yamileth Mercado, will contribute to an exciting evening of boxing. The atmosphere is expected to be electric, given the historic significance and the passionate fanfare surrounding this all-women’s event. As anticipation builds, both fighters have addressed the importance of this match, emphasizing their commitment to proving their superiority in the ring. Serrano expressed her determination to prove that the judges failed to recognize her merits in the past bouts, while Taylor stressed the significance of this fight in validating her past victories. Such sentiments exemplify not only the personal stakes involved but also the larger narrative of women's boxing as it garners more attention on mainstream platforms. The fight will be available exclusively on Netflix, making it accessible to a broad audience. With Taylor vs. Serrano 2 previously being the most-watched women’s sporting event in U.S. history, this match is set to conclude a significant chapter in both athletes' careers and the evolution of women's boxing. The outcome will likely have rippling effects, influencing future bouts and the overall perception of female boxers in the competitive landscape of sports.
